Here's one stunningly clueless sentence:
The Service and its conservation partners consider most persuasive, among a number of reasons, the failure of all known videos showing pileated woodpeckers in flight to even come close to matching the characteristics present on the bird in the Luneau video in rejecting this alternative explanation.

...unless one actually looks at videos of Pileateds in flight like these provided by Dave Nolin.
Also nice to know that USFWS is better at bird ID than Sibley, Bevier, Kaufmann, Howell, etc.
Absolutely astounding.
Tom, I just got the latest scoop from "Oink Daddy". According to him, Sparling has apparently rediscovered the entire breeding population of ivorybills which had relocated to a thicket due east of Posey Arkansas. The ivorybills have made their home in a grove of large cephalopod cypress trees.
Sparling plans to keep the information quite for the next 25 years or until their is only one ivorybill left so his duck hunting buddies will not lose their hunting spot. At that time, he plans to be renamed the Conservationist of the Year for saving the ivorybill from extinction.
Have you heard anything about this Tom ??
