> Mr. Grigsby,
>
> I would like to inform the Bristol Bird Club about an upcoming 
> presentation on the Rediscovery of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker and 
> Photographing Birds. It will take place on Friday, February 24, from 7-9pm 
> at the Tysons Corner Marriott in Vienna, VA. This presentation is part of 
> the Meadowlark Nature Photography Expo. Bobby Harrison will make the 
> keynote address on this timely topic. Mr. Harrison is one of the first 
> three people involved in the search to see and identify an ivory-bill in 
> Arkansas in 2004. This led to an extensive effort to locate the ivory-bill 
> which resulted in the announcement of its rediscovery earlier this year. 
> He will detail his extensive efforts over the years to locate the 
> "extinct" bird. He will also share tips and techniques for photographing birds.
>
> I think this presentation would be of great interest to the Bristol Bird 
> Club. I would appreciate if you could inform your members of this 
> opportunity, as well as perhaps list it on your website and in your newsletter.

> Hot on the Trail of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker
> For more than 60 years, every potential sighting of an ivory-billed 
> woodpecker was met with ridicule and scorn. But Bobby Harrison and Tim 
> Gallagher refused accept the grim conclusion of most scientists that the 
> ivory-bill was extinct. Together they traveled through the South, 
> interviewing people who claimed to have seen this ghost bird of the 
> shadowy swamp. And if a sighting seemed credible, they hit the swamp, 
> wading through hip-deep, boot-sucking mud and canoeing through turgid, mud 
> brown bayous where deadly cottonmouths abound. On one of these trips, 
> checking a recent sighting by an Arkansas kayaker, an unmistakable 
> ivory-bill flew past at close range in front of their canoe. This 
> sighting-the first time since 1944 that two qualified observers had 
> positively identified an ivory-billed woodpecker in the United 
> States-quickly led to the largest search ever launched to find a rare bird 
> and ultimately to the announcement this past April of the rediscovery of 
> the species. Bobby will tell the story of the ivory-bill's near demise and 
> miraculous resurrection and discuss how the Grail Bird was rediscovered.
>
> Bobby Harrison will also share his secrets to award-winning bird 
> photography with the audience. You'll learn many tips and techniques on 
> how to capture winning images from those fast-flying birds we've come to 
> love.  Then, you can join us on Saturday and Sunday and sign up to 
> photograph hawks and owls at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.
