Interesting also to note, Wolfgang, that they waited as long as they could
before doing the press release- nearly 2 years!- to give the poor bird a
chance. Or at least so it appears. Not a bad idea, considering the
unintended harm a few hundred excited birders could cause.

I agree this is awesome news, yet I'm troubled that despite waiting
1-2 years to announce it, and presumably continuing their quest,
they didn't have a picture. I hope their right, and believe they
probably are, but my skeptical side has a tingling that won't go
away...

The NPR story claims they have video, but I haven't found it online on
either the Cornell or the Nature Conservancy web sites.

Was just talking to a colleague. I got to wondering if the current U.S.
Administration pays any attention to the story of the ivory-billed
woodpecker when considering actions like drilling in the ANWR.
