The Sarcasm is unbecoming, but... I think I know what happened.
   
  You see Bobby Harrison is a great carver of wood and fabrications(obviously...he's no David Sibley he, just some podunk pofessor from a no-name school , in fact, I have evidence if you look at the recent report of their (Cornell's analysis) you'll find this...( http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ivory/rediscovery/support/launching ) a mounted ivory bill specimen on the SAME tree as the video report. It's all faked, the whole episode.
   
  The whole episode (the major naysayers) reaks of jealousy, but I understand and anticipate and want the need for complete verification.
   
  Sorry for the sarcasm,
   
  Sincerely

  Pass the kool-aid. I'm one who happens to believe species can survive without the most pristine Old-Growth forest. Did they all commit suicide (the survivers) after the Singer Tract was taken down...? Highly unlikely.

  To answer your question, apparently the same number as anyone else!!!

A member of the recovery team reports that Bobby Harrison claims he sees Ivory-billed Woodpeckers "at least every other month". Heck, I bet if I drink enough of the 'kool-aid', I might see a pair or two on my suet feeder ! ! !
