Someone on another blog mentioned that a stuffed female ivory-bill went missing from Iowa State years back and this person is from/lived in the area. Hmm…

Having had both the pleasure to work as an LSU wildlife intern in Sabine, and to study ornithology with Dr. Remsen, I’m positive this is a hoax. However, all of you are invited to come birding in the Atchafalaya Basin with me, where the last REAL sighting of an Ivory Bill was!

Some background on Hepperle and Rainsong at my blog:

Strong indications that Daniel Rainsong is actually Daniel Dean Hepperle, who has a less-than-stellar history with macaws.

I’m predicting the diagnosis from the photos will be inconclusive due to low light levels caused by the spectacular flock of Passenger Pigeons…um…passing over at the time. Why does the phrase “ballon-boy-family-like-attention-whore” come to mind? The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is functionally if not physically extinct. Let’s spend our energy on saving the birds that have a chance.

Holy cow! Then that comment on my Facebook page about him having a TARDIS is true! Why isn’t that being reported? A TARDIS is a much bigger deal.

and who would post a craiglist ad for an assistant in the search? I’ll bet half the Cornell lab would jump out of their skin to do that (if they thought it was in the least bit credible).

All considered, while it seems unlikely, damn would it be cool for it to be real.
