Ivory-bill items in the latest issue of Birding

A reader writes:
...I just got the latest issue of Birding and it contains a review of Hill's book by Mark Robbins. It is the most unforgiving review of that book and Hill's work that I have seen. It seems that we are at the stage now where there is no need to state things diplomatically, which is refreshing. (If it were possible to get the word "bullsh*t" past the editors, I'm sure it would have appeared several times in the article. Our loss there.) Unfortunately, ABA hasn't posted it on their website. There is also a brief mention of the checklist committee's decision regarding the IBWO in the same issue (which I believe is on the ABA website).
