Am patiently waiting for the USFWS to make their official announcement (already have a post written but waiting ’til I can include a link in it to their public statement).
In the meantime, for your reading entertainment I’ll just once again pass along Nobelist Richard Feynman’s classic, oft-cited “Cargo Cult Science” commencement address from almost 50 years ago:

ADDENDUM: (while awaiting a different release)
...not sure how I missed this bit of USFWS April 1st amusement, but will pass it along now: (someone in their social media unit has been running 'humor' posts for awhile at this point) [ Correction: I see someone over on Facebook is now claiming that he was responsible for this bit of mockery, and it was NOT actually done by the hand of USFWS! ]
-------------------------------
ADDENDUM2: (4/14)
A number of IBWO-related articles have come out recently and for the most part I’m avoiding the ones (almost all of them) that are basically retrospective or historical pieces — stuff that can be regurgitated over-and-over ad infinitum. I’ll make an exception though for these two new ones that I do feel hit upon some important material. The second one, from David Martin, is an especially lengthy/detailed essay including several of the same themes as the first one.
We’re reaching the end of yet another week waiting for USFWS to come off its duff and say something publicly. ;) Sooooo, in meantime, some weekend reading:
