Jerome A. Jackson, an ivory bill specialist at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, has now increased the intensity of the discussion in a 15-page article in the current issue of The Auk. In the article, Dr. Jackson writes of a ''rush to publication'' of the article in Science, published online in April 2005, that reported the 2004 sighting. He also criticizes publicity about the sighting by conservation organizations and the Interior Department as the ''selling'' of the ivory bill and says the bird's existence has not been confirmed.
