We have many many woodpeckers here, but THE IVORY BILLED Woodpecker is a rather large species. There is its cousin from the Carribean that is seen here from time to time. That's what they probably saw.............

a dedicated team worked for several years finding the Ivory bill in Arkansas. It was extreme dedication.

It appears the same technique is being applied in Florida. The sound id distinctive but sighting is a very different situation. The birds are very rare and secretive so sightings are almost non existent even given tons of time and dedication.
