Ivory-billed Woodpecker search


Ed Pandolfino, SacramentoGardening.com's bird expert, has been selected by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to help search the Arkansas bayous this March for the newly rediscovered Ivory-billed woodpecker. The search began in October and ends in late April. We'll report back and let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, check out Cornell's outstanding info page on this elusive species: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ivory/

  3. Hmmm... well... as nature-lovin' as I am... I loathe roughing it. The idea of wading through water moccasin-infested waters with my precious digital camera equipment does not sound like my idea of a super fun trip. Eddie, "Mr. Granola Bar Muir", loves this sort of torture, er, adventure.
