The reason for the link was in the title of my post. There is an abundance of wildlife and plants, its a protected area, and I wanted to share the information and beauty of where I once lived. Thats all.

But as said, I'll cross my fingers and keep on hoping anyway!

Steve,
I think that there are a number around. I have a bunch in my files, including B/W in-life historical photos, but, I'm sure there would be copyright probs.

Range & Population Campephilus principalis formerly occurred at low densities throughout the south-east USA (nominate principalis) and Cuba (race bairdii), but is now extinct in the USA, and close to extinction in Cuba. It was considered extinct in Cuba after intensive searches did not find any new reports to those at the end of the 1980s. However, evidence from 1998 suggests that it may survive in the highest reaches of the Sierra Maestra in south-east Cuba, an area from which there had been no previous records.
