		Martha Beck is welcome to practice whatever faith she wants to, but she seems to be using your name and your efforts to promote an agenda which intends to belittle and disrespect other kinds of beliefs from hers.

	BIRDCHAT archives -- January 1995, week 3 (#63)
		In his own words, Beck was on Guadalupe Island only a "short time." On one afternoon he saw a single flock of 11 Guadalupe Caracaras, of which he shot 9.
		Of course I'm not going to argue that Beck was justified in shooting 9 individuals out of the 11 that he saw (regardless of whether they were literally the last 11 or not), nor deny that he, nor some other collectors of his time, made some "serious errors in judgement".
		Beck in 1900 was much closer in time to the people who all but exterminated the bison, and sought to do the same to Native Americans, than he is to the thoughts and practices of our generations.

		Rollo Beck, an ornoithologist and collector of museum specimens, took part in the Whitney expedition to Oceania in the 1920s.

		Beck's Petrel was not one of those 15 species, as the possible recent sightings in the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon Islands weighed in its favour.
