Ivory-billed Woodpecker reported found, again

It was by the author of the paper on a Birdforum thread.

 

On Birdforum, the original post was put up on April 1st, but was then edited out by the original poster on April 2nd; very odd. At least some of the material posted in the links above looks much more promising than the Birdforum released material; but by no means conclusive. I await comments from reviewers; I would love to see the species continuing to exist and recover in future, but would still put more money on South Island Kokako at present!

 

The full peer reviewed study came out in May, interesting stuff (including videos and audio) and worth a read if you are curious:

Multiple lines of evidence suggest the persistence of the Ivory‐billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis) in Louisiana

 

It's interesting, but I'm still not convinced at all. They've spent all this time out there with high tech equipment and their photos are far worse than the ones that were taken over half a decade ago.
