Like so many others, I’ve now abandoned Twitter and Musk’s mismanagement, and am moving to Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky platform where I am:
@cyberthrush.bsky.social
Bluesky is still getting revved up (but it looks to eventually be the biggest, most-active alternative to Twitter), and birding posts for now are still on the light side compared to Twitter (I refuse to call it “X” ;) Don’t know how much I’ll even use it near-term, but if I encounter really significant IBWO news will likely post it there, before getting written up for the blog.
Addendum: as long as I’m passing along notes, Mark Michaels has his first brief blog post up since seeing the 16-min. indie film on him, “American Grail,” at the Big Sky film festival (Missoula, MT.):

ADDENDUM2:
Don't want to start a new post yet, so will just add here that Paul Fischer has posted an annotated frame-by-frame version of one of the Proj. Principalis La. drone videos on Facebook (involving 2 birds):

The trailer looks great. Why is all of the Ivorybill footage in black-and-white?
The Ivorybill footage is from the Singer Tract over 80 years ago before expensive color film would’ve been in widespread use.
Some of that film, or certainly stills from it, has by now been digitally colorized, but the original black-and-white still, in a way, may give a better sense of the time and the bird.
Why didn't they use more recent footage of the bird?
not sure if that’s a serious question or not, but in any event I haven’t seen the actual 16-min. film and don’t know if they used any of the more recent purported clips of IBWOs, but the old Singer Tract film is certainly the best and what is commonly shown in short pieces on the bird
