Written by lilguinni

Okay, so what kind of explosives deploeyd at the bottom of a suitalby deep shaft drilled in the ice, would be sufficient to crack open the iceberg? Can a tactical nuclear waepon rip the ice apart without also abruptly injuring the penguins?

Ivory Billed Woodpecker
In category Pigeons
Written by Jim Windwalker

Sixteen Years ago while working at a state park, I spotted an Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Since I had no camera with me and could not document the event, everyone laughed because they were thought to be extinct.

I attempted to put together a team to search for these birds since I know the approximate nesting area. Again, everyone was convinced that they were extinct and I found no takers.
