"The Thing with Feathers"

This article was drastically different from the other article, from the time in which is was written to what it was covering.  This article used less poetic language than the other and seemed more blunt while maintaining a sense of hope for the ivory billed woodpecker.  This article covers mostly the alleged sighting of the ivory billed woodpecker in 2005.  What was most interesting to me about this article was when the bird was allegedly sighted was how much attention the story immediately attracted.  Yet what mostly seemed to motivate the news story and the hope that there was still ivory billed woodpeckers left was the same motivation that destroyed the birds in the first place, money.  When the woods were sold to the logging company and they refused to give up the land because they wanted the money and in this article the hope to revive the community that the ivory billed woodpecker was spotted in was also motivated by money.  Maybe we as humans haven't evolved or educated ourselves as much as we think.
