"Now, in an intensive year-long search in the Cache River and White River national wildlife refuges involving more than 50 experts and field biologists working together as part of the Big Woods Partnership, an ivory-billed male has been captured on video."
50$ per/hr(conserv. estimate) x 2000 hrs (approx. one work year) x 50 experts= $5,000,000
$5,000,000 for a solid video of an ivory-billed male.
Not a bad ROI.
If that's what biologists are getting paid in Arkansas then I am grossly underpaid. I would be willing to bet the majority of experts were volunteers and academics.
