the Tanager and the woodpecker are different cases
specimens are taken for science - a decision was taken on the tanager by very experienced people. Manu Road (if anyone knows it?) is part of a huge area of forest abutting the Manu Biosphere reserve. There is no reason to suppose that taking a specimen will have any detrimental effect on the species long term survival. It has been covered ad nauseum in a thread already
Mike, as you're a widely published scientist, i am finding it increasingly difficult to understand your laissez-faire approach to bird records. You must realise you need to do something with that video and get something into print?
