After bigfoot, Loch Ness monsters and sneaky dinosaurs we can now proudly add the ivory-billed woodpecker to the cryptozoology-list.

Although I truly believe the sighting was legit, I also understand that the lack of a viable breeding population likely dooms the bird in any case.

I have viewed the bird that they claim was mistaken for this one, and that video was not of that woodpecker. It had to be a Ivory. No other bird has that much white.

The only thing they have in common are size and shape.

I saw a pilliated woodpecker outside in my back yard.
damn thing was huge and looked like Woody Woodpecker.

Never mind.

Don't forget rat squirrels.

The video is really not good evidence. Clearly the bird is very large and may be a woodpecker, but it's just too blurry to really tell.

Life without the ivory-billed woodpecker has been miserable at best. Then, just when there seems to be a glimmer of hope for mankind, we get kicked in the groin. What will I tell my kids, my wife?
