There were reasons to think that the White-winged Guan had been extirpated by over-hunting. These conditions offered easy access to hunters in a habitat where a bird as large as a Guan would have little chances to hide or scape. A species, wiped off the earth, never to exist again. What a horror! What a disaster! What a wrong!
