I found this interesting video link on the Arkansas ListServ this morning
which is worth a look given the current polarized opinions surrounding the Big
Woods Ivory-billed Woodpecker issue. _New York Times Video - IBWO debate_
(http://video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b41951238:10a17e7f8a8:3d6d&rf=null

You will probably have to scroll down through the list of immediately
playing videos, then just click on "The Ivory-billed Debate" to view it. Nice
piece with comparative museum specimens in hand which nicely illustrates the
issue at hand including the only spread wing IBWO in existence.
