I remember this story.
Now it seems we have a suspicious pecker?

I am hopeful this discovery of the ivory billed woodpecker still stands!

Somebody better load up a shotgun, bag one of these suckers, and drop the carcass off at a wildlife office where it can be properly identified. That's the only way to prove they're not extinct.

In my experience (being raised on an Iowa farm) it is really not possible to know the number and species of birds present on a 260 acre farm. How in the world can anyone know the number and types of birds present in the whole world? Counting them won't work, because they fly around and may be counted multiple times or not at all.

Looks like a Pileated Woodpecker to me.

Gonna be bad for ornithology tourism too...
We just drove through Arkansas on vacation and I laughed at one exit where we got off to get gas. An old motel had bought a banner to cover up it's old name. They had re-named their place(are you ready?)"The Ivory Billed Inn"... I presume to attract bird watchers.

This challenge sounds suspicious to me. As I recall reading the story, they saw this thing many times in the time they spent there but only managed to get one 4 second grainy video. The identification was not simply based on this video is the point.
