“The Ivory-bill has frequently been described as a dweller in dark and gloomy swamps, has been associated with muck and murk, has been called a melancholy bird, but it is not that at all—the Ivory-bill is a dweller of the tree tops and sunshine; it lives in the sun...in surroundings as bright as its own plumage."

Jim Tanner's childhood
•
James T. Tanner was born in this house on North Main Street in Homer, New York on March 6, 1914. I visited Homer in August 2007.
His father C.J. owned a dry goods store in the center of town.
