I feel all recent sightings have been a case of mistaken identity. It pains me to admit this, but the skeptics comparing the IBWO to bigfoot is sounding alot more plausible in 2008. I think its time to let go of this iconic creature and start to concentrate on other important things that still need our help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14762010.post-29124843909320071762008-06-28T11:29:00.000-04:002008-06-28T11:29:00.000-04:00What's with the mobile search team? Two full seasons with a crowd of skilled birders in prime habitat, and not one sighting so far?

It's not scientific, I know, but let's keep our fingers crossed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
