In Search of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker by Jim Fitzpatrick
When researchers went public last spring with the news they
had confirmed the existence of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in an
Arkansas swamp, birdwatchers went wild with joy. The last
verified report of the rare bird had been in 1943. Jim
Fitzpatrick, Director of the Carpenter Nature Center in
Hastings, was on the Cornell University expedition that made the
confirmation and is one of seven people to have actually seen
the fabled woodpecker.
