    Well probably because he had mud on his boots and most likely a two day beard and shabby cloths from too much time in the field and not enough time in the lab or lodge or on his laptop....unlike being a present day Cornel BIRDER

    i Agree Lewis, I am not sure where your going with the pixels but that as it may be, this is a photo of a Pileated. I believe Pileated based on other observations before and after the photo was taken. Not unlike Mike who believes, based on observation, that his is an IBWO. You can comment that...

    Large Woodpecker ID Not that cut and dry. Can anyone ID this large Woodpecker? This is an example of what you may get this time of year. Photo taken White River Nat. Wildlife Refuge Arkansas.

    Yes correct, the searchers are not and have not strapped up their boots and searched and missed a supper or two.......it has been a holiday for them....no not against helicopters... at least the searchers can text message then and carry their laptops as they search it beats not searching and...

    Ivory Billed Search by Helicopter http://www.wildlifeextra.com/ivory-billed_search639.html Please see article. And in reference to the previous post by Norma yes there remain many acres yet to be searched. What is amazing is that the official search team continues to find methods to search...

    Chalkboard + 1 Chalk it up. Another point for the skeptics. It was a well played game I am thinking, however, now the field is in use. Copied this link from a MMINNY post on the other forum. Take Care...

    Thanks for the info lewis. Just so to clear my empty head, was the status "probably extinct" mentioned in the text or in the preface?

    O.K. Finishing up my third year of search and no IBWO seen as yet. However there is a lot more area that I have not covered on the White River Refuge, Arkansas. If at the point where I feel as if I have covered enough area then I can say that no IBWO is present on the White I will join the...

    O.K. I think she may use them at STUTTGART AIRPORT!!!!! I became totally frustrated with this Cornell group the first year when they could not produce. It is time to turn the search over to someone else. Who cares who…. Maybe Arkansas State or U of A at Monticello both has good bio programs. I...

    Understanding Birders Just this evening returned from a class at the local community college. The community college is just 15 minutes from the White River Refuge here in Arkansas. The class was entitled " Understanding Birders". The lecturer was a young man with credentials e.g. undergraduate...

    TRE329 a snip from my search notes from May 2006, North unit White River Refuge "I had stopped to look and listen over my left shoulder when from my right and crossing in front of me at about 20 yards a large woodpecker came flying across, not in escape speed but more in just normal flight...

    Well I imagine that bored is a nice way of saying totally bored, totally frustrated I had the same feeling when Cornell did not produce in 2005 => 2006. Myself not a possible sighting or audio or anything sound, or other wise since January 2006. I am now searching the Northern tip of an area...

    Fake Photo Reply to myself. OK; there have I your attention now? I posted the original photo from an area that looks great for IBWO search potential. & no comment. This forum’s progress to this point appears to have regressed to on or off. Is there or is there not, No dim no bright no intrigue...

    Thanks Time Timeshadowed, after investing 7 hours Pirogue time yesterday I believe that I qualify as a searcher in saying thanks for your stance. Attachment from Roc Roe Bayou, White River National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas. 3/24/07

    Creative Thinking Creative Thinking You know I almost believe you guys. Heck, I grew up in an industrial society, be out there at this time, do this at this time, take a break at this time, do it this way because this is the way it is done. Probably why I have not had a “scare”(possible IBWO...

    American Pioneer For myself, I don’t care why he is doing it but I do care that he is doing it. Getting up early, out before dawn, checking his equipment, checking it twice. Strap those same old pair of boots that he meant to toss weeks ago for a new pair that doesn’t leak in multiple places...

    Jesse and/or whoever; I find myself, these days, describing a Pileated as short , stocky. Is that description accurate, current with these evolving times, maybe? Just asking, just an attempt to clean up my field notes, or need we wait for the "killer" photo to describe Pileated as such.

    You are right the bouncing/bobbing head. But I must give Bobby credit to know to inslulated the motor for sound. Although I have never been exposed to a mechanical decoy that was not irritatingly nosey. No it did not double knock.

    Lots of unnecessary noise on this thread today. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. It kind of reminds me of listening to Bobby Harrison's presentation last month at a local bird festival. He was speaking of introducing motorized decoy's into his search this year. Probably not a bad...

    OK joke. What does John Elway and O.J Simpson have in common. "Slow White Bronco" Thanks Cyber for your response, just thought it was not neighborly to be in someone's back yard without at least introducing yourself. Jerry will support and encourage their efforts.

    Florida IBWO In the backyard of Jerry Jackson? Most likely, probably a reason why Dr. J. moved to Florida. However if there are IBWO's in Florida then he knows about them. Question to the forum,you guys, if Dr. J. is not the current leading authority on IBWO then who is? And why not consult Dr...
