Oh we know about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker! As soon as the fish and wildlfe folks figure out how (or if) it's possible to get folks to see it we will be down! However it may be a few years before they feel that this is safe for the birds, which were thought to be extinct for years.
We have seen another bird also thought to be extinct (since 1880) and only one specimen ever taken -- a tanager in Brazil. Some biologists were sitting having lunch under a tree a few years ago and one looked up and said, "Oh look, there it is...!" We saw it in 2000, quite a trip!
Amy, when we get to Arkansas we will definitely visit you for that dinner!!
