Jerome Jackson speaks

Jerome Jackson gave a talk on the Ivory-bill in Collier Cty., Florida on Wednesday night. Afterwards, an attendee wrote this:
...he talked about how pilleateds double knock and call and that he finds the audio recordings that Cornell got in the big woods inconclusive. He says the video, is without a doubt a pilleated in not an IBWO. Next, he told us with a smile that he will be on NOVA Jan 10th giving his side of the argument and Dr. Fitzpatrick will give his. He questions the science that Cornell used and said they had to come up with something in order to get that 10 million in funding. He said that he hopes that it exists, but if it doesn't, we don't need the IBWO as an icon to sell conservation of the big woods. He didn't take any questions and quickly left the stage. The audience was very quiet after, kind of in shock not knowing what to say.
