Dear Lab members and friends,

The search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Arkansas will continue in 
November. Meanwhile, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon Arkansas 
are organizing search teams involving volunteers who can commit to two-week 
blocks of time. For those interested, information and an online application 
form are available from the News section of our Ivory-billed Woodpecker web 
site, http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ivory.

Last week, researchers from the Lab of Ornithology gave several 
presentations about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker rediscovery and research 
results at the annual meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union. If 
you'd like to read about it, please see the article below.

Many thanks to members of the Lab for supporting our ongoing research on 
Ivory-billed Woodpeckers and our multifaceted programs in research, 
education, citizen science, and conservation.
