Why do the Ivory-billed Woodpeckers give only a handful of people a glimpse, never long enough to photograph? They apparently invented an invisibility cloak long before J.K.Rowling created the concept for Harry Potter. Once in a while they've been caught without it on, but the moment they sense a birder is about, on it goes!
Is an invisibility cloak possible? Researchers are working on it.
That's utter nonsense. Harry Potter is fiction and invisibility cloaks are a figment of J.K. Rowlings imagination!
ReplyDeleteI think that Romulan starships in orbit around Earth are using their cloaking technology to make all Ivory-billed Woodpeckers and other endangered species invisible to protect them from us destructive humans. They're doing the same with other species like Dodos and Great Auks. When we do get a glimpse of an IBW it's because of a glitch in the cloaking technology, perhaps due to a solar flare or something similar.
I wonder if it works on Bachman's Warblers and Eskimo Curlews, too?
