Ivory-billed Woodpecker not extinct

[Robin Leech]

Thanks for that note, Ken.

Now, if they will just keep the hordes of birders on a leash and OUT of the
area, things will be OK.

It has been my experience that everyone and his brother will try to tromp
into
the area to have a peek at these birds.

I have seen areas in Ontario that have been declared natural areas totally
destroyed by birders and others who, pardon the pun, flocked into and
walked everywhere in an effort to confirm that yes, IT WAS a natural area.

A virgin forest is a forest where the hand of  man has never set foot.
