In which David Sibley plays the role of hero

Bryan and  I had the opportunity to see the film Ghost Bird at KU’s natural history museum last night. The film chronicles the reported sightings of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and the subsequent fallout from the announcement the bird had returned from extinction. It also does a brilliant job of showing the impact hope and human nature can have on science.

You can watch a trailer online, and if you have the chance, do see the full film. It’s fantastic.
