Very true, but none have been rediscovered in an area so heavily
birded and after so much searching. No one would be more thrilled than I to
learn that the bird is still with us, but I fear that realistically there
is a less than a 0ne-in-a-million shot. And I say that as someone who spent
a week this spring in Louisiana checking on the latest report. I hope they
are out there and part of me hopes that they stay hidden if they are, but I
doubt the Ivory-bill survives.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
