ND-Birders, SATXBirders:

People may have heard about Jerome Jackson's cautionary note about the =
occurrence of Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Arkansas. His fifteen article =
is in The Auk Vol 123 # 1.  It can be found as a PDF file at =
http://www.aou.org/persp1231.pdf=20

Jackson's comments can be generalized as applying to all observations of =
rare, endangered, possibly re-found extinct, etc  species.  That is, =
before publicizing what they have found, observers need to be very sure =
that they have found just what they claim to have found. To not do so =
can result in backlash that is counterproductive or detrimental to our =
profession.

Onward!
