[TN-Bird] About that April Ivory-bill posting

I just happened to find this little tid-bit from the TN-Bird archives. If  
political appointees are not to be discussed, should not Gale Norton's name 
have 
 been deleted from this post?  It seems to be all in the eye of the beholder  
as to exactly what politics is or isn't.

TN-Birders:

I have been following a thread on the New River Valley Birds mailing list for 

last couple of days reporting the discovery of the IVORY-BILLED WOODPECKER in 

Arkansas.  



Tonight the e-mail lists are beginning to rage with reports of a major 

ornithological announcement coming Thursday.  Most sources will not say what 
it 

is.  It is supposedly being held as a tightly kept secret for political 

purposes.  



At 11:30 a.m. EST Thursday (4/28) the following persons are supposedly going 
to 

make the announcement at a press conference: Gale A. Norton, Secretary of the 

Interior; Mike Johanns, Secretary of Agriculture; John Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., 

Director, Cornell Lab of Ornithology; Katrina Kelner, Ph.D., Deputy Editor, 

Life Sciences, The Journal Science; Steve McCormick, President, The Nature 

Conservancy; Scott Simon, Arkansas Director, The Nature Conservancy; Scott 

Henderson, Director, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
