[mou] Ivory-billed Woodpecker

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Currently finishing "The Grail Bird" (Ivory-billed Woodpecker search) - find 
it both enjoyable & relatively convincing.

So, now that the intensity of the emotional conflict over the existence of 
the woodpecker(s) seems to have abated a bit, would you describe yourself as 
convinced, contemplating, or skeptical?  And why?

Good birding to all, and a blessed Thanksgiving to many on this late 
November day (whether you're chasing the Ross' Gull in CA, seeking winter 
finches & owls in the northern Midwest, laboring in the office, or 
elsewhere).
