Okay, I'm glad they're not all dead, but do we have to put up with the abusive language? I suspect some impressionable young people read this blog.

My buddy Drake works with the Nature Conservancy up in Indiana--he spotted an ivory billed in the South back in the 90's, but nobody believed him...

He's excited that they're officially back! (I am too:)

I think a lot of people who were pooh-poohed over their "sightings" will feel vindicated!

Thanks for the link, V. Morning Edition really did break the story -- I went immediately looking for more info over breakfast yesterday and found nothing. The Nature Conservancy must have waited for a particular kick off time to go live with that page.

I dunno, I saw it on the BBC website yesterday morning first...they got their scoop from "Science" magazine--

Whoever got the scoop, it sure took off quickly! Vive' the electronic dissemination of information! (Unless it's a hoax or rumor, where it becomes bad and irritating. ;)
