[Tweeters] Biggest Loser Thread Origin

[Bill Mowat via Tweeters]

I think this thread from Wednesday originated from an article in the guardian about lost bird species, posted on Tuesday, 6/18.

Here's the link to the article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/17/birders-126-lost-bird-species-aoe

The article is about how there are several bird species (126?) that are not listed as extinct and yet have not been definitively observed for at least ten years.

I don't understand the Amerigo Vespucci reference.

Best - Bill
