Good news for bird lovers, the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, a large North American bird thought to be extinct for over 60 years, has been re-discovered living in the swamps of eastern Arkansas. This is a tale bordering on cryptozoology that includes supposed sightings over most of the last century. The believers and doubters are finally coming to the agreement that this rare woodpecker does indeed still exist.quote:
Last month, a group of ornithologists had questioned the announcement made in April of the rediscovery of the ivory-billed woodpecker, last sighted in 1944. They said blurry videotape of a bird in flight wasn't enough evidence. So a Cornell University researcher who was part of the team that announced the bird's rediscovery last spring says his group sent the doubters more evidence.
