Personally, I didn't find this a very compelling read, but I thought this part was notable:
I have just heard from the Cornell Ivory-bill Project Communications & Marketing staff who have requested that I not include 3 paragraphs of my original report and to not include small sections of 2 other paragraphs. I hope that I have otherwise adhered below to what they would like.

I also gleaned that they are often searching in areas where cell phones work. Personal prejudice but that's probably not wilderness that would favor a nesting IBWO pair. I don't know how well cell signals carry in flat swamplands.
I'd say a good criteria for a search area is your cellphone doesn't work! They don't work well where I live. I agree, nothing riveting here.
I wonder if reports of double-knocks were the ones elided? Every distant gunshot I hear sounds like a double-knock these days.

Just curious: how closely does the "double-knock" sound like the accidental tapping of a paddle on the side of a canoe?
Project marketing staff ... that is precious ... marketing the resurection of the lord god bird for the betterment of the conservation cause.
and here the carpinterio real, spreading the meme to the media that they have hijacked science.
don't bet your annual bonus on the outcome folks ...
The carpinterio real does not submit his thoughts for pre-approval to a marketing arm.
White River NWR....very spotty cell phone coverage, good road ATV network (or bad depending on your perspective)
Bayou de View....no problem (at least with Cingular).
Remember, at Bayou, you are within earshot of an Interstate, and the sightings were only about 100 yards from a well traveled bridge (Hwy 17).
Wilderness it is not.

I'd say that should raise an eye-brow or two.
