Here's an excerpt:
...Maybe Cornell and The Nature Conservancy have had excellent documentation and photos so far. Maybe they had intended to keep this secret for years, but somehow it leaked and they had to show their cards last spring. Knowing that everyone and their birding brother would want to search the area, they threw out red herrings and poor evidence to allow the inevitable media circus and scrutiny to pass so that the woodpeckers would eventually be left alone in peace. Maybe all the skeptics were recruited by Cornell to aid in the misdirection.
Or maybe my parents watched too many JFK/UFO/Elvis conspiracy theory videos when I was a kid and they rubbed off on me.

Damn. They found us out! Now what do we do?
Does anyone know how long the present search continues? Till end of April or May?
I believe the search ends at the end of April from what I have read. The foliage would be pretty thick after that. The temperatures will still be bearable though, for a few more weeks through May. Remember that last year's announcement came on April 28th. Of course they probably were a lot more confident than they are right now. But I cannot speculate on what they might have seen or heard and some folks are at least publicly sounding very confident in their own sightings while other insiders may have their
private reservations.
