I posted this comment to the Drinking Bird. I'll be interested to see what kind of response I get.
I think they are illustrating the pitfalls of brief and highly imperfect views and bad images. Imagine this scenario:
- The image is taken by a birder in the Choctawhatchee.
- The photo is of just one bird. (3 Ivory-bills together is a bit tough for just about anybody to imagine.)
- The photographer claims it's an Ivory-bill because they saw white secondaries for an instant before they took the photo.
How do you think this image would be received? Would a hard-core group analyze it to death and proclaim it proof that the Ivory-bill exists?
I think this is what ABA wants birders to think about. Too many people have proclaimed the Ivory-bill to be "unmistakable", a term that can not be accurately applied to any bird seen for 1-2 seconds.
