I like the new channel logo.

Strong evidence, imo. While maybe not conclusive, it's definitely a good sign. Keep up the good work... and by the way, hunters, please, DO NOT shoot at large birds unless you can be SURE it is not an ivory bill -- thank you!!

Honestly there are so many pileated woodpeckers on my familys land there could be ivory billed one in there and we wouldnt even know it, i didnt even know about the ivory bill till i was in my 20s lol where im at we got around 1000 acres and our neighbors collectively have around 6000 acres plus state land isnt far away and none of all that is farmed other than about 50 acres which is corn fields and some fenced in elk so who knows

Really hope you guys find it one day!

I was very happy to hear and see an ivory-billed woodpecker in 2018 near Enterprise, Alabama not far from the Choctawhatchee River.

I will look for more subscribers for you, For now my family!😅Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

What camera system do you use for your professional work?

Contact Colossal Biosciences, the same company behind reviving the woolly mammoth, dodo, thylacine, and northern white rhinoceros also wants to find the ivory-billed woodpecker. They would love your assistance in locating this lost species!

I am getting my family to subscribe

Have you considered contacting Colossal Biosciences? They recently announced a project to rediscover or revive the ivory-billed woodpecker.

Where can I join the meetings they do via Zoom?

NOBLE CREATURES DESERVE NOBILITY

I was so happy to hear and see one in 2018 not far from the Choctawhatchee River.

Have you considered using playback audio of their call to maybe attract one to your location? This has been used in the past to help locate birds.

Have you considered reaching out to the same team that rediscovered the black-naped pheasant pigeon/auwo in 2022? If they can find a bird that has been lost since 1882, I am sure that they could find a more recently lost species.

Everytime someone claims to see one in recent years they usually: 1. Already believed the Ivory-billed still exists (confirmation bias) 2. Are not adequately able to distinguish it from Pileated (mistaken) 3. Are not even in the historic range (uninformed) 4. Appeal to the potential of its existence (cope) The data points to its extinction. Your efforts would be better suited helping any of the known endangered and threatened birds on the continent

As far as I am aware, the only other woodpecker bigger than the Ivory-Bill was the Imperial. Whats the other?

It's too late. They are long gone.

I was very happy to hear and see one in 2018.

All the evidence presented in recent years is extremely sketchy and ambiguous. For the evidence to essentially retreat into the distance as the number of birders with powerful cameras and the use of remote electronic audio sensing has exploded is as close to confirmation of extinction as we're going to get. It's a sad fact that a lot of people don't want to accept. But the evidence strongly argues that they are, in fact, extinct, and have been for many decades.

Very nice and informative

i wonder how it feels like to go there and feel that

A part of me hopes they’re so expertly hidden to be safe from us forever 😢

Thank you. I saw my 1st Pileated Peckerwood today in my backyard - I thought it was a dinosaur - there was something about it's flight pattern that was mesmerizing. And his hair is very rock and roll. Beautiful bird. As I understand it the flight patterns difference is that the Ivory Billed flies like a duck when viewed from below? Is this true? Might help when the white markings are murky due to the speed of the flight pattern. Cheers man!

I became fascinated in this topic after seeing a very large woodpecker-looking bird that flew more like a buzzard, opposed to how a Pileated darts about in 2018. I had no idea what I was looking at, and I still am not sure. I live about 30 miles north of Gainesville in a very swampy rural area near the Santa Fe river. I found out that such a bird did exist but was extinct. I have been looking for it ever since. Besides some similar kent calls that I can not confirm I have no evidence, but I will never stop looking.

How many people are looking for it on your team?

I was lucky to hear and see one in the summer of 2018.

That’s an empanada

The bayou sure is pretty in winter.

I think it’s watching you

Thank you for posting this and thank you for your dedication to the project. I want to believe the i-bw is not extinct. I refuse to believe that rednecks with shotguns can eradicate a species whether it is i-bw or passenger pigeon. It is logistically too farfetched. Maybe disease. On another note, I suggest you not mention the war between the states as a spot on the timeline because soon you'll have to field distracting nonsensical claims that racism caused the birds' demise. I wish you the best and I hope that one day you find irrefutable evidence on a bird.

I hope the Ivory BIlled Woodpecker is still alive. Good luck and i hope you find it 👍👍👍

Well I hope u find the ivory because time I saw one bad a few months ago it was a female a big white feather on the back any who I wish u good luck my friend.❤❤

They are extinct.

Anyway, I seem to have a "gift", like God brings them to me? Once I was carrying my 3 year old grandson on my shoulders and prayed the Lord would show him a hummingbird. Before the words were out of my mouth a hummer appeared hovering for 2 seconds 15 ft in front of us Instantly. I would really like to get to Florida. I think that is a great place to see the Ivory Billed. If you read all this, THANKS!

I've saw the Elegant Trogan in the Chiricahuas 3 minutes down the canyon trail! Followed for 15 minutes. Got the Tropical parula at a campground in the Davis Mountains. My other daughter spotted it first

I have done endangered species surveys on the Golden Cheeked Warbler and Black Capped Vireo. Found a Golden Cheeked nest very first transect, feeding babies! Took the others back to location to see them. Found 2 black capped video nest. Took my daughter to Lost Maples in central Texas and she found a black capped on the nest in 3 minutes. Right out of the car! The male was on the nest. Them we went uphill to where there were some mature junipers mixed with Spanish Oak (Red Oak) and live Oak. We saw Golden Cheeked fledglings being fed by the parents, all in an hours time
