"Kip Davis and Jay Robison saw what they believed was an ivory-billed woodpecker on Thursday, one of thousands of reported sightings piling up as leaves in an east Arkansas swamp drift down."

I hope it has been spotted again. They searched for this woodpecker along time ago because someone claimed they spotted it. CBS Sunday Morning even had a story on it back the first go round and went out with a guide by canoe to search for it. They are pretty much keeping regular tourists away from the area I think, or were back then anyway.
opening this thread, i thought i was going to see a picture you took of one.

Ditto!
This is weird: I had a dream that I saw an Ivory Billed Woodpecker.
I was so excited, then woke up. Then I sit down with my coffee at the computer, and saw this thread.

Any word on the supposed signs of ivory billed woodpeckers in Walton County (or Okaloosa County?). They made the news down here -- story said environmental groups are trying to stop the airport because of it. I wonder if anyone's found more evidence.
Cil keep your eyes peeled!

Did you read the article which I linked above?
From that article:
"In September, ornithologists at Auburn University in Alabama and Windsor University in Ontario published a report in Canada's online journal Avian Conservation and Ecology, claiming an ivory-billed may live along the Choctawhatchee River in the Florida panhandle. The report came after researchers documented 14 sightings and extensive sound recordings of the bird."

Thanks SJ. I did not see that. I skimmed.
Still wondering if the airport plans could be affected ...
There is an excellent article on the IBW in this month's National Geographic. Also some stunning high-res photos of Saturn from Cassini spacecraft.
I am not sure, but the Panama City Crawfish was recently placed on something like a threatened or endangered species list, so there could be potential problems with that. I am not sure if an animal which is still yet to be proven to exist can have an effect on the airport.Thanks SJ. I did not see that. I skimmed.
