Either ivorybills go through periods of making noise and being quiet or they move in an out of the places where searchers are.
Or they don't exist, Geoff.
That's the most likely possibility, of course, but for some strange reason this university professor seems unable to grasp the concept.
If you have two legs and can walk, if you have a canoe that floats and a paddle that isn't broke, then please don't wait for these audio recorders to fill the world of science with inconclusive sounds. Move steadily toward the direction of the double knock or kent call. Make sure your batteries are fully charged in the camera after reading the instuction manual which will tell you how to turn the thing on and focus it, and maybe if there happens to be a bird producing these noises (which I doubt) you can provide us with a photograph. If you do this often enough, you will either find an ivory-billed woodpecker, or you will not. A photo would also place the forthcoming book in the nature aisle not the fiction aisle of the bookstore.
At present, we are not releasing the specific location where we collected evidence for the presence of ivorybills...."
Evidence of Ivorybills? What evidence would that be?
we ask that no woodpecker seekers enter our study area.
We aren't telling you where it is, and please don't enter it.
Maybe they're on a sound stage in Idaho?
Hill must be reading this blog. Amazing that a "Weekly" update appeared so soon after your question about it. Of course, I am sure that he will make maximum importance out of finding nothing, just like all of his "research" so far.
The Chockfullaibwoatchee search can't seem to get beyond what we saw with the initial AR search, namely, solo, hand-picked "believer" observers worked up into a frenzy and running amok, unfamiliar with how to use their equipment, etc. It seems that everyone cycling in and out on the team sees/hears IBWO within a few days. They are being seen/heard weekly, with the occasional "indisputable" encounter thrown in to keep the beast focused. But no photos are ever produced. Once the AR searches got more organized with the buddy system, etc., then lo and behold the sightings dropped to about zero. Am I implying direct or indirect fraud and incompetence in FL? You bet I am. I hope that there really are IBWOs there, but why aren't they being seen/heard by "reputable" ornithologists and birders? Am I implying that no one on the team is "reputable?" You bet I am.... But, fear not, Fishcrow and the CLO IBWO SWAT Team are enroute. Sorry for the rant....
