WOW!!!
Not much support there for the "Elvis was an abberant pileated" hypothesis.
Good stuff! I'm glad Cornell is finally coming across with some photos. It might be worth a trip to Arkansas to see a pileated like that one. What a beautiful bird!
Thanks for gathering this kind of inofr for us so quickly.
I wonder what the offspring of the
white male Pileated x normal female
Pileated would look like? The male
cerainly has white secondaries!
Indeed, a pretty bird. Lack of an IBWO photo means little if they number in the 5's and 10's and we're looking in the wrong places. Anyway, Jaguars don't have wings and deserts don't have swamps (but, to keep things light, you might find a jaguar in a swamp!). If jaguars spent most of their time 60 feet off the ground and only in the deepest nastiest swamps and could hide around trees... instead of the
2 or so photos obtained of Jags,
they might have gotten zilch.
On the skeptical side:
It doesn't seem a far leap that elvis could be the son of this white bird, with a normal plumaged mother (all PIWOs). It doesn't exactly
strengthen Cornell's case but it
does seem like refreshing honesty.

"If this bird exists, so could other abberants. This bird was seen clearly and didn't fool anyone. When was the last IB seen clearly, and not just a fleeting glimpse?"
Exactly right !
Where is the picture of the one in the video?
C'mon Cornell I know you have it, time to fess up ;)
Thanks for the other pictures by the way, they are beautiful!
The male cerainly has white secondaries!
Symmetrical white secondaries!
