Excerpts:
-On my first day I heard suggestive "double-knocks" deep in the forest, which may well have come from an Ivory-billed Woodpecker (henceforth known by its banding code "IBWO." I'm still on the fence as to whether the bird exists at all, though slowly coming around to believing that it does. I'm quite familiar with all of the other woodpeckers in these forests, and have never heard anything quite like this.
...
-In the middle of my stint deep in the wet woods, my team was interviewed by a documentary crew making a movie about the IBWO and those personalities involved in the search for it. How bizarre! One moment I'm kilometers from any other person, stuck in a back channel with soaking feet and face-to-face with a venomous water moccasin (aka cottonmouth). Three hours later I'm back in camp hobknobbing with George Butler, the director of the film "Pumping Iron," the vehicle that carried Governator Schwarzenegger to fame.

Too bad Errol Morris already finished his movie about Florida weirdos.
'henceforth known by its banding code "IBWO."'
Huh?? Banding code? That would suggest that someone has/is/intends to band one, right? Won't the dark matter cause the net to implode?
If he'd just said "four-letter code" that'd make more sense.
