This is really great news!!!!!

I hope the bird has a comeback as great as the Bald Eagle!

I was having a bad day until I read the article and heard the audio story.

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Rediscovered in Arkansas.

audio link and story from NPR here, enjoy.

www.npr.org...

A group of wildlife scientists believe the ivory-billed woodpecker is not extinct. They say they have made seven firm sightings of the bird in central Arkansas. The landmark find caps a search that began more than 60 years ago, after biologists said North America’s largest woodpecker had become extinct in the United States.

Hmm interesting, maybe the birds got savvy and started to avoid us Humans
Neat find though

We heard that this morning! I was elated to hear about it.

There are several other extremely rare/vanished birds I would enjoy hearing about a comeback for, including some of the birds of Hawai'i. There was one... I forget which one... that for the past few years only the song of a lone female has been heard.

Given the success of the A&M labs, I wish they could manage to somehow capture and clone some of these birds.
