"USFWS Ivory-billed woodpecker plan defies logic"

Here.

Excerpts:
What is uncommon is the leap of faith the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has made on behalf of a bird species that many smart and conscientious people believe doesn’t exist.
...
...Waterfowl managers don’t have the dollars to conduct banding work and other scientific evaluations on at-risk waterfowl species like lesser scaup, let alone devoting funding for a bird species that reasonable people agree we¹re still searching for.

This is crazy, my friends...
I don't know about you, but over the last couple of years, I've noticed a definite trend towards Ivory-bill skepticism in mainstream media coverage.

I predict that the above article will join NBC's recent "Fleecing of America" Ivory-bill coverage in not being mentioned on Cornell's "Ivory-bill in the News" page.
