    The topic here is evidence of the subject rare and spectacular species; it was started by others with good intent. That a few can come here and take weeks to present the evidence is a rough correlate that there is something to look at carefully. As the evidence slowly comes in, 30 entrenched...

    I have been the only person that I know of to publicly predict exactly what the various factions would say if there's a picture of one bird. Now you have said it. I'll assume my past comments may have something to do with you're likely correct prognosis today. Unfortunately a few continue to...

    I have heard of him......poor soul. A primate foot expert....my goodness.... What's that they say about species when they become too specialized. Maybe we should start worrying about our own species pending Extinction. He is studying footprints no doubt. Got to laugh that it's a bit like those...

    Assume written by J Jackson and illustrated (badly) by Sibley, forward by Farnsboro who discovered the infamous Pileated Woodpecker flapping faster than any known PI up to then (unfortunately Henning had just sped up the film). Lol

    Move along please nothing to see here other than the same waffle!! Zoolandy again seems unaware of nest, egg and hatchling fidelity. Also unaware that some of the Singer tract IBs were somewhat acclimated by the gameskeeper for a decade plus. Also makes believe he is unaware that the many...

    JF there is no value for me in these conversations. I wound prefer if we put each other on ignore. I am not here to repeatedly cater to immaturity and pseudoskeptics. For anyone else...…………………….

    Thanks Ken. To be fair the pictures are poor but the scenery and locations are awesome. The conditions are hard on equipment and you can expect problems when you are wielding two cameras, bins and a day pack or large backpacks depending on plans. Its often very dark in the best habitat (large...

    cont part 2 IBs SKs--IBs can do thunderous SKs that seem impossible for a bird or the average man to produce. When you hear one of these close by (< 200 feet) you suspect someone extremely large, strong and angry is near you with a huge bat. You are uncomfortable until you confirm there is no...

    Myself and others verbally interviewed him and it was so good we then set up the cameras and interviewed him "news" style. His property did not front the bayou but was within 200 feet. He was a calm and pretty compelling individual. I have the unedited interview tapes taken for multiple...

    From 11,419 hours of recordings collected along the Choctawhatchee River between January and April 2006, we have isolated 309 sounds that are consitent with historical descriptions of the sounds of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers (99 putative double knocks and 210 putative kent calls).

    Choctawhatchee Acoustical Evidence Hatchee in the Choctaw language means river so all the "hatchee" syllables in many Big Bend, Florida river names, are repetitive in a nostalgic way. I just call this beautiful, magnificent treasure, the Choctaw. It helped me think of how the forests had...

    I like this type of examination and true, actual skepticism. First there were scores of modern sightings of male IBs (red), the AR rediscovery IB was a male seen by many for many months. The sightings stopped which is weak, inferential evidence that an IB was present. In addition if you know...
