Subject: Dark Phase Red-Tail Has Returned
From: Skip Stocksdale <cbstocks(AT)VENUS.NET>
Date: 4 Jan 2002 1:17pm
Last year we had a beautiful dark phase red tail hawk that stayed in the
area during the winter. This is the only bird of it's type that I had
been privileged to see in Southern Indiana. He has a solid chocolate
chest and wing linings. Last year we got some pretty good pictures of
the bird and were wondering if he would return this year. Well, he has
returned to the very same woods surrounded field located on the New
Middletown Rd., Harrison County.

Subject: IBW info
From: Chuck Taggert <warrech(AT)EARLHAM.EDU>
Date: 4 Jan 2002 4:22pm
This is a response to the Ivory-billed Woodpecker article that was
forwarded to IN-BIRD. I am very excited by this recent study. I have been
following the IBW story for several years now and it is this that budded my
interest to become an ornithologist. If anyone has any more recent
information I would much appreciate it if you would post them.
Unfortunately, even as optimistic I am about the existence of the IBW, I
have my doubts about Pearl River, LA. I personally have been to Pearl River
to look for the IBW. From all the information that I have read about the
feeding habits and breeding habits it is doubtful that the area could
support even a single pair of birds. Much of the forest is secondary
growth. The only possible savior of the IBW would be their ability to adapt
to the drastic changes in the forest chemistry that have occurred in the
last few decades. I hope that the IBW will turn out to be more like the
Mauritius Falcon in their adaptability and has been able to quickly adapt
to feeding and breeding in younger forests. Another possible savior for the
IBW as a species is Cuba. I plan to go to Cuba after college (possibly
during) to do a study in search of the Ivory-bill. The situation in Cuba is
sketchy at best about the possible existence of the IBW. It still is a
viable habitat in several areas. If anyone might have any ideas about
people I should get in touch with that would also be great. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Dark Phase Red-Tail Has Returned
From: John Favinger <favebird(AT)YAHOO.COM>

There was a similar RT last year in Ohio/Dearborn
County. It was seen on both sides of Laughrey Creek
(Dearborn-Ohio County line) off and on most of the
winter. I haven't heard of anyone seeing it this
year.
