-- Condors Today, IBWOs ....?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Ivory-bills, but too good not to pass along, this recently-released uplifting photo of a rare captive-released California Condor currently nesting in an also rare California Redwood in the Big Sur area of Calif.; something not seen in northern Ca. for a hundred years :

Any chance an Ivory-bill at a nesthole in AR. could be next....?

BTW, since suggesting that Harrison Ford could play Cornell's Dr. Fitzpatrick in the yet-to-be-made "Ivory-bills Live! -- The Movie," I've had a few more suggestions via email; the cast is shaping up as follows:

Gene Sparling -- Gene Hackman
Bobby Harrison -- Kris Kristofferson
Tim Gallagher -- Ron Howard
David Luneau -- Kevin Bacon
Jerome Jackson -- Robert De Niro
David Sibley -- Matthew Broderick

And who will play Mary Scott?....indeed why isn't Mary, who saw IBWO in Arkansas a year before Gene Sparling, even mentioned by most people?

What action-packed scene is Sibley going to appear in? You could save production costs and just show the back of some $50 extra watching video and shaking his head, like they showed George Steinbrenner in the Seinfeld series.

Who would play the Ivory-bill?

I guess they would probably have to have a Pileated Woodpecker play the Ivory-billed....no, wait! That movie has already been made and grossed millions for the people who produced it. It's kind of blurry and is getting a few bad reviews but you can't argue with anything that does that well at the box office and has, at least some, audiences enthralled. Also I would like the producers of any future movies to know that I can look a great deal like Brad Pitt if the camera is in a canoe and I am in back of a tree. And I will work for well below his average movie contract.
