For those interested in the history of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, two new books & the reprinting of James Tanner's classic on the species are available for your reading pleasure. "In Search of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker" by Jerome Jackson (2004). "The Race to Save the Lord God Bird" by Phillip Hoose (2004). "The Ivory-billed Woodpecker" by James Tanner (2003 reprint). Tanner was a professor at ETSU (briefly), then for many years at UT-Knoxville & was a long-time member of TOS. Also on the Ivory-bill are chapters in the following: "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers" by Christopher Cokinos (2000). "The Ghost with Trembling Wings" Scott Weidensaul (2002). Any or all of these will make for good reading on a cold winter's day (or any other time).
