Ivory Billed Woodpecker alive?!?!?!?
Thanks so much to nanakyi for the heads-up..
It turns out that the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, thought to be extinct for some 60 years now, may still exist in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas. Go here to see a report with interviews AND convincing video footage of this beautiful bird, along with pages of information. Here's an image I googled depicting an Ivory Bill pair:
This fills me with such indescribable joy, and so much hope... I am nearly moved to tears.
