I was chatting with Gordon about this and we discussed how drones could be a safer way to get photos of birds or document birds for breeding surveys, but he was quick to point out, “You and I already have an idea of what a safe distance would be to test that out with an active bald eagle nest.

Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. There were reasons to think that the White-winged Guan had been extirpated by over-hunting. Some of these specimens had labels with basic information and were stored for further work at a later time.
