The latest Ivory-billed Woodpecker episode is over. It isn't there now, and it wasn't there in 2004 or 2005. We've been fooled, but not everybody is staying fooled...it has received widespread publicity as "fact" thanks to the unscientific cooperation of Science magazine. Apparently Science only considered the quantity of dubious evidence cumulated by the "rediscoverers" rather than the total absence of any proof that would persuade a competent state rare bird records committee.
