- A "two-fer;" interesting thought... -

----------------------------------
Thought this post from Dean Edwards on the Tennessee bird listserv today more than a little intriguing. (A confirmed Bachman's hasn't been seen since around 1960, but in it's heyday, the species shared the same habitat and range as the Ivory-bill):

"....you know all those autonomous recording units (ARUs) that they [Cornell] put out in the swamp to attempt to record IBWO calls and drumming. I know they're checking them for IBWO, but I wonder if anyone is checking them for Bachman's Warbler songs while they're at it? Wouldn't a "two-fer" return from the brink be nice?"


...nice inde-e-e-ed!!
