-- THE Man For The Job --

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have been noticing lately the increasing number of Brits active on the 'BirdForum' Ivory-bill threads, and also witnessing a greater number of visits to my blog site from British URLs, and it got me to thinking that maybe we need to get all these rank-amateur, young American boyish whippersnappers (Fitzpatrick, Gallagher, Harrison, Jackson, Remsen etc.) off this Ivory-bill case and turn it over to the one man who can undoubtedly find and film these birds within a 60-minute documentary outing: 80-year-old Sir David Attenborough!! Wouldn't that be a fine way to cap his incredible career (which includes BTW bringing 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' to television). Yo David, it's just a thought if you're out there listening and sipping tea somewhere....

On a completely different note, at another blog, I just came across this older post (Nov. 2005) that includes links to several older, interesting but less-frequently-viewed articles on the Ivory-bill:
