[TN-Bird] Ivory-billed Woodpecker

>>>It's True!  The Ivory-billed Woodpecker has been found alive in
>>>eastern Arkansas.  We are excited to make this announcement on behalf  of
>>>the Big Woods Conservation Partnership, which has launched an
>>>unprecedented search effort after credible sight reports emerged from  the
>>>Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in 2004.
>>>
>>>Birders interested in visiting the site and searching for the bird  are
>>>urged to consult www.ivorybill.org for details to be posted in the near 
>>>future about
>>>opportunities for access into the area.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
>>>Service, Arkansas Game and Fish and Natural Heritage Commissions, and  The
>>>Nature Conservancy are working hard to provide managed access for  birders
>>>and other visitors.  If you are planning a visit, please be  prepared to
>>>cooperate with local authorities and obey all local
>>>regulations established to protect the highly endangered ivory-bill  and
>>>its habitat.  Also, please be aware that the chances of actually  making
>>>a sighting of this elusive bird are extremely small -- a
>>>massive search effort over the last year has yielded very few
>>>detections.  And please be prepared to document your sighting with a
>>>photo or video!
>>>
>>>We will send updates soon about how birders can help in this historic
>>>effort to study and conserve the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
