[TN-Bird] IVORY BILLED WOODPECKER FOUND IN ARKANSAS

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

Let's go birding.......
