Birders: More information on the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker that I have just gotten from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Shane Adams East of Hamblen County Morristown, TN. 37813 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.
