By the mid-1990s Rhein was in his late 80s, and Lammertink had a good deal of difficulty in tracing him. He finally tracked him to his home in the intriguingly named town of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The two men were introduced and eventually sat down together to watch 85 seconds of film, shown from an old 16mm projector. Naturally, the quality is not good but the film (today viewable on YouTube) clearly shows a female bird climbing a pine trunk, foraging, chipping off bark, and then flying away.

Rhein promised to make a copy of the film, but Lammertink didn’t receive it until a couple of years later – after the Mr Rhein’s death. The reason why he had never made the film available to the ornithological community before this time remains a mystery. Perhaps its poor quality embarrassed him; perhaps he just thought that no-one would be interested.
