Ivory Billed Woodpecker is back!!!

The Ivory Billed Woodpecker, thought to be extinct for the past 50 years, has apparently now been confirmed to have been spotted alive and well here in the deep woods of Arkansas.

Which now adds food for thought. What OTHER elusive creatures actually exist deep inside the swampy woods around the country?

Ivory billed woodpecker, Carolina Parakeet, Passenger Pigeon:
Sounds like an excellent club sandwich! Topped off with a slice of bald eagle and some grilled condor filets, MMMMMmmmm. That's some good eatin'!

 

It's for real. The pileated woodpecker is NOT an ivorybilled woodpecker. Two different birds. The story was on ABC World News Tonight.

But let's all ponder this thought. The ivory bill was captured on a blurry video that lasted about 3 seconds. (Not the only sighting, but the only actual video.) The analysis concluded that it is indeed the ivory billed woodpecker.

So why does 3 seconds of blurry video = confirmation of woodpecker existance, yet,

20 seconds of clear video of Bigfoot in the 1967 Patterson file = nothing in the eyes of the stuffed shirted scientific community? (and bigfoot is backed up by several videos and HUNDREDS of eyewitness sightings).

 

No, the "guy", Roger Patterson, who shot the film, died many years ago. Last year, a crackpot who was somehow acquainted with Patterson, came forth and said that HE was the guy who wore a bigfoot suit for the making of the film. Of course that ignores the fact that even with today's special effects technology, nobody has been able to duplicate the images on the film that were taken nearly 40 years ago.
If the Patterson film is such a fake, then why doesn't somebody easily whip up a phony big foot suit and make a fake film to "show everybody how it's done".

They can't do it, because it wasn't a fake. It was a real creature.

If you read some of these tales, you will never take a walk in the woods the way you did before.

 

No tin foil hat here. One of my teachers in junior high school had a brother who was in that area around the time the Patterson film was shot. The talk among the locals was that the film was real. These "Johnny come latelys" who make wild claims like "I was bigfoot" years after the fact, are full of crap. They conveniently wait until everybody is dead that could contradict their claims. They're more psyco that the guys with the tin-foil hats.

By the way, tin-foil hats are obsolete. Everybody uses aluminum foil these days.
