#1 But Steve, who'd visit Bubba's new library.
Oh, right. Sorry, back to what you were doing.

#2 Cool.

They tried a couple of years ago to find some in Georgia, with no success. (though there was anecdotal evidence there, too)

Glad they still exist.

#3 This is actually pretty amazing. For years, biology textbooks put the ivory billed woodpecker up there with the Dodo and the Passenger Pigeon as examples of extinction. Doubly interesting in that it is a *big* bird. What next?

#6 I had a coelocanth once, but my plesiosaur ate it.

#10 Very cool. And so many other species are being fruitful and multiplying: California Condors, Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons (scourge of city pigeons, hurrah!), Eastern Bluebirds... even some plants thought to be extinct in my area have been discovered on land allowed to go back to nature. Pollution levels are down in the States, and energy efficiency and recycling continue to rise. More land is forested than has been in about 150 years, Florida is working on expanding its wetlands, Xeriscaping and gardening with native plants are fashionable. It's a good time to be Green (if one is honest, anyway).
