• MARY SCOTT: The Prehistory.  Mary describes her sighting in Arkansas from 2003, a year before the Lab of Ornithology’s rediscovery there.

• TIM BARKSDALE: Eye Witness.  An ex-investment banker turned wildlife photographer, Tim had his own sighting while on assignment to film the bird for the Lab of Ornithology.

• PAST SEARCHES   David Sibley, Nancy Tanner, Jerome Jackson and David Luneau recount the efforts to find Ivory-bills over the past fifty years.

• CUBAN CONFUSION  Are Cuban Ivory-bills a separate species or the same as those last seen in the Singer Tract?  New DNA research provides answers.

• DR. JACKSON’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES  Take a tour of Jerome Jackson’s encyclopedic collection of Ivory-bill memorabilia.

• SIX PIXELS  Ivory-bill or Inkblot?  Decide for yourself.

• CATFISH DUDE: Arkansas Outsider.  AKA Keith Sutton, this outdoor photographer, author and sportsmen weighs in on the evidence.

• SONNY SKINNER: Taxidermist.  With an intimate knowledge of birds from the inside out, Sonny reflects on what everyone has been seeing out in the swamps he’s been stuffing critters from for most of his life.
