Like it or not, the birding world has undergone a split, a crevice that will continue to widen until the believers and nonbelievers come to a conclusion as to the Lord God Bird's existence.I disagree. I think the split actually peaked some time ago, and is slowly narrowing as all searches everywhere continue to come up empty.
There will always be zealots that believe in Bigfoot and/or IBWO. For everyone else, the bleak truth is relentlessly settling in.
It will be fascinating to see how long institutions like Cornell/USFWS/TNC will side with what the public will increasingly regard as the lunatic fringe.

I don't know about siding "with" them, but they will never side "against" them. They will simply talk about it less and less. From a comment posted in an earlier thread, it sounds like CLO is already trying to scrub some of their previous claims on their web site.
"Like it or not, the birding world has undergone a split, a crevice..."
To me it seems more like a crevasse.
