The Cache River Refuge was established in 1986, so what about the other 40 years we didn't protect it? I still don't see why if we thought the bird was extinct for 60 years, why we feel we NEED to protect it now. THere have also been sightings in Cuba within the last 25 years. "There has got to be a pretty serious lineage," Gill said. "It's got to be more than a few" Frank Gill is the senior ornithologist at the Audobon Society. I'd say he has some idea of the size of the colony.
