Harrison will tell you all this because he’s seen one. Other people will tell you, very firmly, that he has not—and the clock is now ticking for him to persuade them otherwise. I love it when people who were not present decide what another person has seen. And, why in the world, must he "persuade them otherwise?" He knows what he saw.
In February 1989, on a backwater of the Tennessee River, I saw one. The markings on the back are unmistakable. I do not care what "experts" say. They weren't there. I won't try to "persuade" anyone. Their beliefs won't change what I saw.

Pileated and Ivory is akin to a crow and raven in appearanceI've seen all of those birds you mentioned. The woodpeckers look nothing like crows and ravens.

For those who don't know the difference, a Yankee is someone who is from north of the Mason-Dixon line. A damn Yankee is a Yankee who moves south and stays. Y'all! Go back home!

Interesting. It says they made them in Nawlins so I guess it is possible. They whacked down miles and miles of trees.

I think the poster was commenting on the similarity of those two woodpeckers being close like crows and ravens. (I’m a huge fan of ravens.)

In reference to a crow and raven in how close they appear. Just as how a pileated and ivory billed are similar.

I withdraw my statement. I misunderstood.
The two woodpeckers are very similar. The white markings on the back of the ivory-billed are very distinctive and separate one from the other. Not all birds are sufficiently obliging to let the viewer see their backs (or in other birds, the distinctive breast, or eye-ring, etc.).

No problemo. I don’t have any cool woodpeckers here in NM, just ones that try to beat holes in my house. But I’ve got ravens easily 15 years old and a whole society built around them.

A chunk of the D-Day Museum in NOLA is dedicated to the Higgins boat.
