Two delightful quotes:
From the first link, concerning the video: The amount of time the bird is on screen can’t be more than a second or two. It was fast. When the video was played the first time, people in the audience laughed self-consciously. Not many saw it.
From the second link, addressing the photo: The one thing we can be sure of on all of this is that if you can't even be sure which direction the birds are flying you certainly can't tell how "heavy" or "long" the bill or tail is. It's all just a bunch of speculative crap. Lipstick on a pig.
They followed the cardinal rule of IBWO photography with the photo and the video, "Quality must be poor enough so you can see what you want to see."
Amazing how the IBWO can be so very wary that it managed to evade 315 automatic cameras.
Regarding the excuse that IBWOs occur in very low densities (I know, I know, the true density is ZERO)...
If anything, Hillcrow's claims would indicate that they are present in relatively HIGH densities in the Chockfulllaibwoatchee. Presumably, the species was in "very low densities" in the Singer Tract, but gee, they could be found fairly regularly, and shot, seen, photographed, filmed, and recorded.
Which, of course, invokes the excuse that IBWOs have become extremely shy because of decades of natural selection through persecution....
Now, seems to me that, if that were true (which, of course, it isn't), then the Singer Tract birds should have been the MOST incredibly wary IBWOs of them all (but which they weren't) because they would have been the product of at least 100 YEARS of persecution.
