The (Cornell) Lab of Ornithology has wrapped up its 4-year search for
the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. In spring 2005, researchers announced that
the bird, long thought to be extinct, had been sighted in
Arkansas-sparking a media frenzy and drawing hordes of birdwatchers to
the region. Since then, ornithologists have searched woods from CA to AL
without success. "The lab will continue to be a hub for information,
reports, and scholarship about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, including an
online database where members of the public can report sightings," says
Ron Rohrbaugh, director of the Lab's research project on the elusive
bird. "But unless new evidence surfaces, it's probably safe to say that
we're not going to put forward any more comprehensive, systematic
searches."
