Hello, tweets.
Having followed the Arkansas and Florida "rediscoveries" and the failure to have had anything come of them, I'm afraid I'm no more convinced by this one, after having read the preprint paper word for word. Alex Lees' argument makes complete sense (even though I'm a little surprised that Twitter is the news medium he felt was the best place to present it).

Researchers from the National Aviary claim to have documented physical evidence that the bird is still alive in Louisiana. In a pre-print research paper <https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.06.487399v1.full.pdf> that has not yet been peer-reviewed, lead author Steve Latta and a number of other researchers lay out the evidence that while the Ivory-billed Woodpecker may be reclusive, it has not been wiped out entirely.
