We’ve been well trained, if inadvertently, by our Sibleys and Petersons to look for that type specimen every time, but within a given species there’s as much variation between individuals as there is between individual people. Structurally, that long and low body, the pot-belly and the flat head.

The authors trace the creation of swamps, wetlands, and meadows by farmers, and then the destruction of wetlands by the building of golf courses, the loss of meadows by the construction of train tracks.
