While Dean is on the topic of Ivory-billed Woodpecker books, I'm also reading one: "The Race to Save the Lord God Bird" by Hoose. The author is pretty obviously not a birder, but he is a good writer and has apparently done some good research. It reads like a well-written shortish novel, but has good pictures, good sidebars and lots of "facts and dates" which do not bog the reader down. It also talks a lot about Jim Tanner.
