Uh-oh, now David Sibley is challenging the Ivory-billed Woodpecker
identification. According to today's New York Times
(http://tinyurl.com/prtng ): "Instead, Mr. Sibley and three colleagues write
in the journal Science, the bird is a common pileated woodpecker, and there
is no conclusive evidence that the near-mythical ivory bill has escaped
extinction."
I can't wait to hear Tim Gallagher's keynote address at the MOS annual
conference in June.
