As if this story didn't have every crazy character imaginable, it also has Jackson.
He carefully considers years and years of evidence, calls it all crap, and still continues to say, "but keep searching folks.."
It's like he is half scientist and half nut.
What would it take for Jackson to say enough is enough?
Jackson has seen it all
No evidence is too tough to call
So far it's all come up short
But to him it all has import
In a time long long ago
Jackson's forbears tried to stem the flow
Of monsters in the dark
With a timely snarky remark
Likewise in a galaxy far far away
Jackson’s progeny are holding sway
Over countless species demise
By never ever conceding the prize
"snarky remark" and "demise/prize" are my favorite parts.
Laurencej,
Your link doesn't work for me. My browser can't find the server.
So, Tom, here's your list of "public skeptics" of the Luneau video. Have any of these guys publicly declared the IBWO extinct? Have any other PhD biologists publicly declared the IBWO extinct? And for crying out loud, where are the women "experts"?
1. David Sibley, bird book author
2. Kenn Kaufman, bird book author
3. Jerome Jackson, "world's foremost expert on the ivory-billed woodpecker"
4. Richard Prum, ornithologist, Yale University
5. Mark Robbins, ornithologist, University of Kansas
6. Gary Graves, the Smithsonian Institution's curator of birds
7. Michael Patten, ornithologist, University of Oklahoma
8. Louis Bevier, was assistant editor of The Birds of North America, and is currently an associate editor of the journal North American Birds
9. A. Nemesio, ornithologist, Brazil
10. M. Rodrigues, ornithologist, Brazil
11. John Kricher, biology professor, Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts
12. John T. Rotenberry, biology professor, University of California Riverside. President of the Cooper Ornithological Society
13. Hans Winkler, ornithologist at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and co-author of Woodpeckers: A Guide to the Woodpeckers of the World.
14. Noel F. R. Snyder, author of the books The Carolina Parakeet: Glimpses of a Vanished Bird (Princeton, 2004) and The California Condor: A Saga of Natural History and Conservation (Princeton, 2000).
15. John Acorn, biologist, writer, broadcaster, and university lecturer
"Have any of these guys publicly declared the IBWO extinct? Have any other PhD biologists publicly declared the IBWO extinct? And for crying out loud, where are the women "experts"?
"
My best attempt at answers:
No, no, and "I don't know" respectively.
Have any of these guys publicly stated that nobody should be wasting there time or money searching for the bird?
I suspect that many regular contributors to this blog have a PhD in Biology from a supposedly prestigious school, as I do.
"Have any of these guys publicly stated that nobody should be wasting there time or money searching for the bird?"
This should be rephrased. No one should waste PUBLIC money searching for the bird, and nobody should misrepresent the IBWO tragicomedy to take advantange of credulous donors and volunteers.
