We don't have any breeding pairs," said department spokesman Jim Paxon. "If that was critical habitat, we would still be doing the same thing that we are doing today. We are not harassing that jaguar or modifying normal activities there that are lawful today"<br /> Same could be said for the last ivory-billed woodpecker seen in a nest in the Singer tract. Nope, not harassing a bit....Mark LaRouxnoreply@blogger.com
