Everyone in invited to KTOS for our Dec. Meeting! Reminder from: *KnoxvilleTOS Yahoo! Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnoxvilleTOS/cal>* Title: Ghost Bird of the South by Lyn S. Bales Date: Wednesday December 1, 2010 Time: 6:45 pm - 8:45 pm Next reminder: The next reminder for this event will be sent in 3 days, 1 minute. Location: Room 117 UT Veterinary Building Notes: Lyn's Jim Tanner/ivory-bill book is finished. The legendary ?Ghost Bird of the South,? the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, has been popping in and out of existence for the past century. Is the species extinct or not? It?s a question that remains unanswered and may never be answered conclusively. How do you prove a negative? Probably never common, the largest woodpecker ever found in the United States, the ivorybill lived in forested bottomlands and swamps from coastal North Carolina across the gulf to east Texas. Cornell grad student and former KTOS member James T. Tanner studied the most documented population in northeast Louisiana in the late 1930s. What did he learn? Join author and former KTOS newsletter editor Stephen Lyn Bales for a discussion about the completion of his new book Ghost Birds. Nancy Tanner will be present and the two of them will talk about the day they discovered unpublished photos of an ivorybill that led to a recent article in "Smithsonian" magazine. Lyn will bring books to sell. They make great Christmas presents! Stephen Lyn Bales is a naturalist at Ijams Nature Center here in Knoxville. Get reminders on your mobile, Yahoo!
