I'm thrilled that we haven't totallly killed off this bird, and hope we can
save it from total extinction.

Perhaps a good start would be to not list it "back into extinction." I think
you all know what I mean. For me, just knowing the Ivory-bill is still around
is enough. I don't HAVE to see it to appreciate the bird and its phenomenal
story.
This true survivor deserves its privacy.

I'd be totally happy if the area were just closed to the general public and
access granted only to those who would serve to monitor the so-far unknown
population and protect its 'home.'

The last confirmed sighting (before these most recent ones) was the same year
that I was born.This is a marvelous event in my lifetime! What a day!!
