Bevier to speak

An excerpt from this MaineToday.com page:
Speaking of “allegedly,” the “alleged” (see, here’s that connotation again!) re-discovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Arkansas is the subject of Louis Bevier’s presentation to Merrymeeting Audubon on Tuesday. Louis, now a Research Associate at Colby College and a trip leader for Field Guides gained further notoriety this past spring when he joined with David Sibley and others to write a critique of the evidence supporting the rediscovery of the Ivory-billed woodpecker, specifically the “Luneau video.” Detailed, scientific analysis shows there’s more than reasonable doubt that this is not a Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Louis’s presentation will focus on this, and other pertinent questions about this topic. We’re lucky to have such a great ornithological resource nearby to present this program, and I am very much looking forward to it. Join us on Tuesday (the 28th) at 7:00pm at the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick. (See you there!)
