Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are not Extinct!
I just heard that this morning on NPR. They found some in Arkansas. Best news of the year, IMHO.

Re: Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are not Extinct!
Have you seen their cousins out here in the PNW? They are called Piliated Woodpeckers.
Looks nearly identical, makes one heck of a racket too.
We have several around the WSU Campus at Salmon Creek in Washington

I used to have a pair of pileated woodpeckers in a willow thicket in my pasture in Blodgett. They look like flying dinosaurs.

Re: Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are not Extinct!
We have pileateds that take advantage of the habitat trees I have near my house...... they are awesome critters and have incredible strength and tough bills.
The wood chunks just fly when they get to "thump, thump, thumping......"

Re: Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are not Extinct!
It is great news, imagine that, protecting habitat can actually work. Greg Walden is probably having a very bad day thinking his ESA gutting is going to get tougher.

Re: Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are not Extinct!
Talk about tough....a couple weeks ago while fishing on the MC, we heard this VERY loud woodpecker. Turns out it was a Pilleated pounding on a tubular steel pasture gate!
