Ms. Rowlett is a birder and nature guide who has led over 300 trips through several leading ecotourism firms, including Field Guides, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours, and Questers. Here she describes seeing the extremely rare, possibly extinct, Eskimo curlew in 1962, on Galveston Island. The sighting reminded her of the poignant book, The Last of the Curlews, by Fred Bodsworth, as well as a moving passage about extinction by William Beebe.
