-- Jackson Roe in Arkansas --

----------------------------------------------
Some will remember almost 10 years ago a young Jackson Roe and his father searching for IBWOs in the Big Woods area.  Jackson recently notified me that he is back at it in Wattensaw and has renewed blogposting here:

He was particularly interested in getting opinions on some trailcam photos of 2 distant birds in his 5/29 entry. As usual not good enough for conclusive identification, though I don't think they're Ivory-bills; but feel free to send Jackson your own thoughts, questions, ideas.

By the way, I'd be interested to hear who else is still doing any regular searching (and how often) in the Big Woods area (perhaps Mike Brown???), since I no longer hear much from that area at all, though I'm sure some individuals do at least sporadically venture there.

Well I have not seen patches of white on crows. Or perched turkeys. Or perched vultures. Possibly juveniles. That's what puzzles me a bit. They don't look like woodpeckers regardless.

Dark birds can shine really white in the timber.Turkeys perch to preen during the day.Vultures perch low when near a carcass.
