[tn-bird] Ivory-billed Search


TN-Birders:

The link below is to a story in the USA Today regarding the search for the
Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Louisiana. While the initial search, funded by
Zeiss, has ended, researchers have found enough evidence to warrant further
investigation. While no Ivory-bills were seen or heard, they found trees
with bark stripped in the same way Ivory-bills are thought to feed, as well
as some possible nest cavities. The researchers plan to insert a camera into
the cavities to look for evidence of nesting (egg shells, feathers, etc.) It
could get interesting!
