one bird poop .... one feather ..... one old nest (with DNA in nesting material) .... one feather .... one single good clear photo or movie .... is this too much to ask?
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 have not seen one yet but have heard they fly very fast and have to purge speed to land. So they do an upward approach to land on a branch rather than a direct path such as the pileated.
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
They look a lot like pileated woodpeckers. Quite common in New Hampshire - usually spotted in pairs, and you can definitely hear them when they're nearby.
@@danashane Yes the pileated can be loud for sure. Old reports say they used to hear Ivory Bills as they traveled rivers. Apparently it made them easy to hunt and find too!
@dogtoddy mabe. Large bird, slow drill, chuk Chuck Chuck, nice red comb, The black and white markings are nice see in flight and heavy long white beak. IDK.
These people are outdoorsmen to think they dont know a pileated wood pecker from a ivory billed wood pecker would be absurd. Outdoorsmen study nature thats what they do they observe their surrounding and make mental notes. They no doubt in my mind have seen ivory billed wood peckers.
@@Ivory-BilledWoodpeckerBu-en3wx It was in a woodlot next to a lake at Johnny Henderson Park close to Enterprise, Alabama. I have not seen it there since the year of 2018.
@@Padwarner4452 I told lots of people after I saw it. It was larger than a pileated woodpecker and it had more black on the face with a pale white bill.
Consider Lauren and Matt sufficiently teased!
Can't wait to see the rest of it. Thanks for doing this the right way!
Thank you! Keep up the good work!
And that’s why my documentary is about the hunt and the burden of proof it would take to prove it.
Love this! More please!

It is the biggest haystack ever!
Awesome!…
This is AMAZING!!! ❤

A part of me hopes they’re so expertly hidden to be safe from us forever 😢
I agree! But unless we get some protected lands I believe they are doomed to man's greed!
Very nice and informative
Thank you! Fingers crossed there can be proof and then protections!
@@Ivory-BilledWoodpeckerBu-en3wx welcome
I hope the Ivory BIlled Woodpecker is still alive. Good luck and i hope you find it 👍👍👍
Thank you! Fingers crossed someone does prove it still lives!

I have been told that the two do not play well together. But it would be so cool to see both at once.

IDK.
They can't even get one identifiable photo in 80 years.
The documentary will cover this for sure. Its multiple reasons!!
@@amarinella because they are extinct. That is the reason.
NOBLE CREATURES DESERVE NOBILITY
I agree!!!

Photographing this species in these woods could be extraordinarily difficult with the way they fly.
I think the hardest part about getting a photograph is them not existing.
We have gone to the use of constant head cams running just in case. And yes almost impossible odds!!
@@Ivory-BilledWoodpeckerBu-en3wx they've been extinct for decades.
@@dogtoddy More than likely but who knows stranger things have happened!
@@dogtoddythey are not officially considered extinct, though I’m not gonna argue about whether they actually are or not
I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker in 2018.
That is awesome! May I ask about where, state and approximate location?
@@Ivory-BilledWoodpeckerBu-en3wx It was in a woodlot next to a lake at Johnny Henderson Park close to Enterprise, Alabama. I have not seen it there since the year of 2018.
Did you report this to anyone other than here when that happened and are you sure it wasn’t just a pileated woodpecker or even better any footage
@@Padwarner4452 I told lots of people after I saw it. It was larger than a pileated woodpecker and it had more black on the face with a pale white bill.
If they can get any kind of dna from it. It would be more evident!!!
Agreed! A feather or two would be great!
