I'm only 80% convinced, but if it's true, it's the biggest news in American wildlife biology in 50 years.
Supposedly there's an article being released on Science online some time later today.

That is indeed huge news, if true. BUMP.
I will have to send this to my dad.

If they're looking for another "pecker" from Arkansas...we've got one in New York.
To: Right Wing Professor
By the time the environmentalist wackos are finished restricting private property rights in Arkansas because of this discovery, the people there will wish the bird really was extinct.

If there is a place where these birds could survive it would have to be someplace like the Cache River area. The Cache River Refuge contains a variety of wetland communities including some of the most intact and least disturbed bottomland hardwood forest in the Mississippi Valley region. A vast place of primeval beauty.

No, that's just a very big pileated woodpecker.

To: Right Wing Professor
I doubt that there's a hidden flock of passenger pigeons somewhere though.

However, I can tell you that for miles around the property values will plunge because the ivory billed woodpecker MIGHT come on your property therefore you won't be allowed to so much as clear underbrush, much less build a house.

I can't wait to see the video. But, OTOH, it's just another "peckerhead" story from Arkansas. [ducking]

A vast place of primeval beauty.Makes sense, and it's not one of the places that people have done really intensive searches in the past. Last major search I heard of was at Pearl River in Mississippi/Louisiana.
The big question will be, how many of them are there.

They could use this to shut down much of the South. It's a big bird and needs a big range. If you though spotted owls were bad, this sucker's way more photogenic and romantic.
