Long thought extinct, the elusive Ivory-billed Woodpecker is now in the news because of its rediscovery in a remote region of Arkansas. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive study of the remarkable bird. It was originally published by the National Audubon Society in 1942 when the Ivory-bill's survival was in danger and only few of the species could still be found in the southern United States. It opens with a general description (explaining how to distinguish the Ivory-bill from its more commonly encountered cousin, the Pileated Woodpecker) and offers an extensive profile of the species' other characteristics and habits, including its original distribution patterns; the history of its disappearance; and its feeding, nesting, and breeding habits. 20 halftones. 17 tables. 22 other illustrations.
