What do you think? Is this evidence of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers still remaining in Louisiana? Please put your thoughts below and please be respectful!
I love Pileated Woodpeckers! I have at least four mating pairs on my 5 acre plot in north central Florida. They are amazing birds. But, I am always on the look out for an Ivory-billed. No luck yet, but I will never stop looking.
Pileated woodpeckers are such funny birds when young. We had one that would visit our porch railing as a gawky baby a few years ago. I’d go nuts if I saw an Ivory Billed!
All the tech we have now a days and the best video of the ivory billed woodpecker is the first and only video of the ivory billed woodpecker from 1935 AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD VIDEO!
Typical UFO or Big Foot sighting picture quality. Not enough for me.
I usually only get Downy Woodpeckers on my deck feeding but I got a Red-bellied Woodpecker a few days ago. Red head, white neck and black/white feather and much bigger than the Downy. Awesome!!
To have a sustainable population, you'd need several hundred (if not 1K+) individuals, and someone would see one of those. I mean, the US is full of hardcore birders who would LOVE to positively ID the 'first' ivory bill. This reminds me of King Kong. You can't just have one King Kong - you'd need a sustainable population of those gigantic apes over big enough habitat to provide enough food.
I certainly think they could be out there yet, but come on, someone has to be able to get a better photo than this! Totally agree that if they know where they are for this report, there is no excuse to not get out there and take turns waiting it out till someone gets a clear photo. Thank you for the comic relief- the "bottle in a tree" comment made me laugh out loud! And yes, it did look like a bottle in a tree lol!
Not convinced. The fact that they didn't release the audio they claimed to have of the bird makes me even more skeptical. I think we should take up a collection and send Badgerland Birding down to do a stakeout with decent cameras. Seriously. Think about it guys. You're great at doing careful searching and spotting of hard-to-find birds. And even if you don't spot the woodpecker you'll still come back with some great videos about the adventure of searching for it. Give it some thought.

It was a miracle for me to see one in 2018. First, I hear it and there it was.

Very interesting. I would like to think some were the IBW but who knows..
I love the comment section with the thousands of people who have seen Ivory Billed Woodpeckers..........
As respected researchers, I’m surprised they used the word “apparent” rather than “suspect.”
We live on the edge of public forest and have several pileated woodpeckers nearby. I have seen them scavenging in a pair of two on at least three occasions in the past six months.
I would love for them to still be around, but if we still had a population of Raven-sized woodpeckers that birders really wanted to find, it would have been found. Every recent Ivory-Bill sighting is a lie or a Pileated. Everyone wants to believe they’ve seen this super rare bird that hasn’t been gone for all that long, but with all of the equipment today, someone who had seen one would have been able to get at least a decent picture for a positive ID. It’s terribly sad that they’re gone, but we need to learn the lesson from them and move forward and put resources toward species that CAN still be saved.
Super late to this party. Listened to y'all during my shower.
Not sure if you talked about this or not, but the trail cam "videos" were time lapses, so they were taking pictures 5 and 30 seconds apart. So when you were wondering where that flying bird came from, it makes sense that it just appeared mid-frame. At least that's what I understood.
Confirmation Bias seems to loom pretty large here.
