Back from the Dead
One of the sad things to read in bird books is the description given under the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. It is a magnificent bird, even larger than the Pileated Woodpecker, which I see from time to time in our woods. Here's what Roger Tory Peterson says in his book: "Probably extinct. Formerly in forests of the southeast." The bird has not been seen since 1948.
But now, the majestic Ivory-Billed Woodpecker has been found in Arkansas!

Wow, those birds in Arkansas have to be really old if they survived the extinction in '48!! Are their feathers gray now?
times up.....you must have something more exciting to talk about than the dead or not dead bird from Arkansas....
