>Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, a division of Carl Zeiss Optical, Inc., will
>sponsor an intensive search for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in the bottomland
>forests of the Pearl River area of southeastern Louisiana. Zeiss will
>sponsor two people ( at $2,000/person) to conduct an organized, systematic
>search of the area, working as a 2-person team for 30 days. Those
>selected for the team must be experienced birders able to negotiate
>difficult, remote terrain on foot, by canoe, and by ORV. This search must
>be conducted before spring leaf-out, namely completed by early March 2002.
>
>The search will be planned by and coordinated with personnel for the
>Louisiana Dept. Wildlife & Fisheries (which can also provide lodging at
>Pearl River Wildlife Management Area). The goal will be to determine
>whether Ivory-bills are present there and to obtain videos for
>documentation. For further details, contact Dr. J. V. Remsen at
