  Oh, I agree we should try to find fossils anywhere we can.  My point was 
that although evidence of the Accipitridae-Falconidae split might be more 
likely in the southern hemisphere, there is still a significant chance that 
this split occurred in the northern hemisphere.  It would be a shame if 
someone found such possible evidence and didn't pursue it thinking that it 
was biogeographically improbable.
