This seems as good a place as any to copy a recent Fishcrow update:
"12-23-06. I staked out the tallows again this morning. There continues to be a lot of woodpecker activity. In order to get a wider view, I chose a position about a hundred meters from the trees. I tried out the 2X extender lens on the Sony HDR-HC3 and obtained these images of various woodpeckers. I always had the impression that woodpeckers are among the most intelligent birds, but I never realized just how intelligent they are until I started searching for ivorybills. This species is so adept at eluding humans that it seems to have the intelligence of a corvid. Among the other species, I have often noticed signs of intelligence in the red-bellied. There's one back in Virginia that comes to get peanuts when my wife calls its name (we unimaginatively named it Woody). This morning, I obtained footage of a red-bellied demonstrating intelligence while foraging in the tallows. As this movie shows, it repeatedly kicked at the fruit while hanging upside down. It succeeded in knocking the fruit loose with this approach."

Hmmm, I don't know where to start..... Maybe if Collins and Epps were to stand there holding tallow fruit in their extended hands and calling "Captain Holly" and "Jadie." Fish Crows must be an exception to the notion of "corvid intelligence."
Given that these students are mostly Hispanic, I'm surprised they aren't out chasing Chupacabras, for which there's far more "evidence", e.g.

Paul McCartney was killed by a Skunk Ape back in 1967 and you can hear the surviving Beatles singing about his death if you play their later records backwards.
The song "I Am The Walrus" was originally titled "I Am The Skunk Ape" but Ringo thought "walrus" was more catchy.
"In 1997, a flurry of reports emerged from the Big Cypress National Preserve, including a supposed sighting by a busload of British tourists."
Must have been the Norfolk Punkbirder crew
How fortunate that we can protect Skunk Ape and IBWO habitat in one Big Preserve!
