The demise of one of Woody Woodpecker's long-lost relatives has apparently been exaggerated. After sixty years, scientists have re-discovered the ivory-billed woodpecker in rural eastern Arkansas. Experts considered the bird extinct, but now several sightings including a video are reported in a protected forest area. It's the first confirmed sighting of the big, dramatic looking bird since 1944. It is said to be shy and prefer deep woodland areas in the southeast part of the country. Researchers in the journal Science say, "The ivory-billed woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), long suspected to be extinct, has been rediscovered in the 'Big Woods' region of eastern Arkansas. Visual encounters during 2004 and 2005, and analysis of a video clip from April 2004, confirm the existence of at least one male. " Scientists also confirm hearing drumming sounds produced by the bird. Audubon Society ornithologist Frank Gill calls it a major discovery, "This is huge. Just huge. It is kind of like finding Elvis. " Scientists thought the ivory-billed woodpecker was one of six species to become extinct since the late 19th century. Experts say the bird's lifespan is about 15 years, which suggests a breeding habitat somewhere. Gill says, "There has got to be a pretty serious lineage. It's got to be more than a few. " He says "It's just the most exciting report in my lifetime. I think we will move . . . to make this a globally important bird wildlife area. "
