Jackson Roe asked me to note his latest endeavor at the Wattensaw WMA (Arkansas) to lure IBWO with a home-made Ivory-billed model:

Models have been used before. Other than Bobby Harrison thinking he had lured an IBWO on at least one occasion with one, I can’t recall any claimed successes with them, but always worth a try. Below a couple of the robotic models that have been created or used in the past:
Nothing much to report (in the way of sightings or signs) from a second team of searchers exploring parts of north Louisiana.
