Some of the best detections over the past couple of years occurred in May. We still have some crew members posted to some of the hot spots in the river system, so hopefully we'll come up with something over the next week. I'm more hopeful than optimistic, but still have no difficulty finding motivation to get up and out into that beautiful river valley.
I will be posting at a later date on some possible hypotheses as to why we weren't able to come up with definitive proof of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker's existence here.
