The case of the ivorybilled woodpecker is still one of the more contentious ones in modern zoology. Is it extinct? Has it been extinct since the 1950s? Was it rediscovered in Arkansas in 2005? Or was it all a colossal con by environmentalists wanting to find a sure-fire way to protect an area of swamp bottom that was otherwise likely to be raped by logging companies? Don't get us wrong: if it was the latter, more power to their elbow, because in many cases the end certainly does justify the means.Young Max recently found a blog about the bird and sent it to us with his recommendations.
