Hi --

The Arkansas bird chatline has a post from Dan Scheiman which gives the web access urls for the recent Science article by Sibley et al. as well as the rebuttal by Cornell. It includes jpegs of video stills etc. Very interesting...(And yes, I know this isn't Maryland birding but several MD birders have been down or are going down to look for the IBWO so of interest ...)

The article by Sibley et al. questioning the video evidence has been 
released by Science, as has Cornell's response.
