A bit more from Chuck Hagner at the AOU meeting

An excerpt from this post:
The talks about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker are scheduled to take place Saturday afternoon. The major players are in town: John Fitzpatrick and Ken Rosenberg from the Cornell Lab. Jerry Jackson from Florida Gulf Coast University. Mark Robbins from University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. Geoffrey Hill from Auburn University and Dan Mennill of the University of Windsor.

Do you think John Fitzpatrick and Ken Rosenberg will attend any or all of Hill's talks?

Where's Robbins' co-peddler, Richard Prum?

Remember in 2005 (ScienceNow)

Robbins agreed, saying he considers the recordings "irrefutable evidence" of the existence of at least two individual ivory-bills

and in Windstar eMag http://www.windstar.org/eMagazines/eMagazine78/emagazine.cfm

"IT'S ALL MOOT at this point; the bird's here." So says Mark B. Robbins

Then in 2006 (Kansas City Star) Robbins starts revising history:

“I don’t believe it’s there, and I haven’t from the get-go,” said Mark Robbins, a nationally noted ornithologist at the University of Kansas.

And this guy is considered credible by other ornithologists?

I mean, seriously? That's pathetic.
