Ivory Bill - Recordings of PIWO Flying

Below is the latest message by David Sibley re the Ivory Billed
woodpecker.  I have sent this also to the Naturerecordist list because I
think there are probably acres of recordings of Pileated Wodpeckers
taking off out there in peoples archives.  I think I might even have
one.   If not those of us who are out with parabolas in our hands can
probably gather some information on the takeoff wing speed rather
quickly.  Any suggestions on where it should be sent?

Those of you on naturerecordist who want to follow what has happened so
far in this discussion can find the posts on Silers Birding on the Web
page ( http://birdingonthe.net/ ) Go to mailing lists -> Regional
Speciality.  Scroll down the page to the next to the last group called
"World and Elsewhere"  and click the link in the column on the far right
called called ID-Frontiers.  Good links to the Sibley paper and the
rebuttal by the folks at Cornel are there as well as SOMs - more
material which supports the conclusions of the papers.
