The
Miracle of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
When
you refer to your birding field guide, if the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is
even listed, there is usually a reference to its likely being extinct.
WRONG!!!!! Having
last been seen in 1944, 60 years ago, that's what everyone assumed, that
is until a series of chance events led to the discovery that the
Ivory-Billed Woodpecker LIVES! This is a phenomenal story.
