    Unfortunately this fascinating video was re-posted by some ignoramus or worse that entitled it "Pileated Woodpecker Battles Green Snake in Ichetucknee Springs State Park in Northern Florida"! The dishonesty is apparent as comments were disabled in that YouTube posting. The bird is clearly a...

    Mystery bird #3 photo is a forgery. I presume that by now everybody knows that the photo labeled Mystery bird #3 in the previous discussion is fake. For details see Bill Pulliam's blog [ http://bbill.blogspot.com/ ]. Dalcio

    So Araçari, do you think that the Kinglet Calyptura of SE Brazil still exists? More people have seen the IBWO than the Calyptura and there are no photos or videos of the Calyptura and yet it is assumed to be extant... Interesting. Dalcio

    Frenchy, did you read the report on Birdlife's site about this finding? The camera trap was set to monitor tigers, the photo capture of the Ground-cuckoo was accidental. This example does not indicate any great skills in finding a rare species and is not really a contrast with the IBWO search...

    Ivory-billed Woodpecker (formerly updates)

    The problem here is that you are matching the bill cast with the thin branch behind the Pileated's head. Its bill is not the dark line between the bars that seems to be a continuation of the bird's throat. You have misunderstood what Mike interpreted as the white trailing edge. It is not the...

    Sorry GWS, I was thinking of Collins' video which was taken on the LA side of the Pearl WMA. According to Mike the birds he has seen seem to be frequenting both sides of the border. Dalcio

    As far as the IBWO in the US is concerned the only organizations that really matter are those in charge of enforcing legal protections, namely the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the state's wildlife authorities. The USFWS never classified the IBWO as extinct, it has always been classified as...

    It is a Pileated Woodpecker, the white throat is visible in both photos, in both photos the bird shows a large white patch on the side of the head (underneath the eye and extending to the base of the beak), no white trailing edge on the secondaries (which would appear as white triangles on the...

    I found it a great reading. Recommended for both skeptics and believers alike :). I enjoyed very much reading about a letter sent to the late R. T. Peterson in the 80s. In it the author recounts how, while travelling in a troop train in 1944, he saw 15 Carolina Parakeets in North Carolina at...

    From what I have read, in the case of Neotropical bamboos, different populations of the same species flower [and go to seed and die] at different times even though they have the same time interval between germination and flowering. Thus birds that specialize in eating bamboo seeds have a...
