- Researchers may have found a lost bird species, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker! Please subscribe to continue learning what makes life AWESOME: BioBush.tv/subscribe
The paper can be viewed at BioBush.tv/principalis
A peer-reviewed paper outlines multiple forms of evidence that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker may not be extinct! The photos and videos are really blurry and not obvious, but its peer-reviewed nature means that independent experts agree this is solid evidence. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has delayed declaring the species extinct while the search continues.

Thanks for watching! You're awesome!
I spotted one in Louisiana a few years ago. Ldwf refused my report when I called them. Saying I was mistaken. But, I was looking at a picture of it, and comparing. I watched it extensively while he teased and fought off 2 other species of Woodpeckers in a tree. They are alive and well.
Hi Tina, We do a lot of research and searching for the IBWO. Very interested to know where you had your sighting. Its very unfortunate the State officials you communicated with didn't take your report more seriously as you seem to have had a very solid longer duration sighting which is rare (and amazing for you!). Please let me know if you are open to sharing any info- it would help our research.
Thank you.
Peter
Did you get any pictures?
@@9thplace612if they did there’s a $50,000 reward offered by the Audubon society for them
I really hope that the species can be found one day :)
Me too, Random Homo Sapien! I don't know how it would work, but species have been "lost" for longer. Thanks for watching!
Found, supported and forever protected.
I’ve seen them out here in SE TEXAS in the early 2000 a pair use to come to our tree every single morning the first time I saw it I recall thinking got damn that is a big ass Woodpecker LOL one morning I remember someone seeing and saying those birds are endangered I had no idea they where supposedly extinct I lived close to the bayou and people say they are deep in the bayou it’s parts of the marsh that only a few people go to or has been Pleasure Island out here in Port Arthur the back part leading towards the bayou is places people just don’t visit I would bet they are some out there yet I 1000% saw this same bird on countless mornings
That's so cool, Jae! I'm hoping that a place like yours is still home to a lost population. The Blue-eyed Ground Dove was in a similar situation, presumed extinct, until a tiny population was discovered. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker looks a lot like the Pileated Woodpecker, which is still a common bird, so the search is complicated. But between local observers like you and bird scientists like Project Principalis, we might find them again. Thanks for watching!
You’re sure it wasn’t pileated? If you say you’re 1000% sure I’m guessing you are familiar with what the pileated looks like and you’re sure it wasn’t the same bird.
@@Sbreslin59-js2zz Yes IM sure cause I would see the Pileated at times in the past so when I saw these I was like it’s something different that’s not the same birds as usual and they would come at the sametime every morning and I recall MY Daddy saying HE was going to shoot it cause it was killing the tree and this older guy who was there said you can get in trouble those birds are endangered guessing HE didn’t know they were supposed to be extinct and HE said HE would only see those kind when HE was way out in the marsh where you could only go by boat it’s so many animals deep in the marsh that I’ve seen and people would be like no way that’s out there
@@Sbreslin59-js2zz It’s so many animals deep in marsh that people wouldn’t believe was out there like this ridiculously huge all white Owl I would see everyday and people would think I was exaggerating til it got in MY Grandmothers attic and was flying around her big 2 story house til the Game Warden came and they were in disbelief at the size and puzzled by the color saying this Bird was definitely 2.5ft at least and I know that sounds krazy but it was the Game Warden was losing his shytt HE could not believe what HE was seeing HE kept saying I don’t think y’all are understanding this ain’t normal guys TRUE STORY
@JaeDeeKae yeah but we’re talking about the “extinct” ivory woodpecker. Yes there are pockets of untouched land that have no roads going through it’s possible there could be some out there but it is a slim chance as most of their habitat was destroyed and they haven’t been seen since even though so many have been searching for decades. Florida panhandle looks like the most promising but who knows. They were more sensitive to habitat loss then other birds.
I saw one just last Saturday in North Central TN.
Probably a pileated
@@dennisclanton5342You can tell the difference though
Hi Steve! That would be amazing if true! There are lots of people looking for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. It's complicated by the fact that a related species, the Pileated Woodpecker, is pretty common. If you can get a clear photo or video it should be easy to see the difference. And a clear photo is what we're all hoping for in the Ivory-billed search! Thank you for watching!
@@BioBush The only reason I thinknit was the Ivory-Billed is because it flew in front of me and then a long distance up into the canopy. I could clearly see bright white in the trailing edges of its wings as it flew away from me. From what I understand is the pleated woodpecker has black on its trailing edges and only white in the front. And it was the largest woodpecker I've ever seen in my life. It seems to live about a mile away from my home but I will stay on the lookout if I can get a picture or video.
I totally believe there's a chance this bird is still around. But if it does, it's probably a low population, perhaps not even sustainable.
i was just doing a video about the woodpecker jajaja, mate you are amazing thanks for the video
It's a good time to talk about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The bird is famous! Thanks for watching again, Hombre Pajaro!
I’ve seen one of these in the Pocono mountains I lived in Zions Grove and I seen this bird that had just this extremely red area on its body and it was the most beautiful bird I’ve ever seen and I didn’t know what it was so I try to look it up and I’m pretty sure this was the woodpecker that I saw because it was so loud and I was sitting on my porch. It was early in the morning and the time I try to get a picture of it it already had flown away, but it was so beautiful And I don’t know if it was native to the area, but I tell you what I definitely have seen this bird. And when I looked it up, it states that they are not extinct they actually have found that this bird still exist. As of three months ago.
maybe a pilated woodpecker which is common in those regions
You 100% saw an pileated woodpecker and not an ivory bill. Ivory bills live in lowland hardwood forests, not mountains.
Now please find a t-rex
Pileated woodpecker also is a very similar looking species.
Yes just no white stripe and white bill
@@johnfrank4558pileated woodpeckers have white stripes and red heads. Male ivory billed woodpeckers had red heads. Also pileated woodpeckers do have white stripes. However pileated woodpeckers have dark colored bills, you are correct there.
Is there any videos or photos from any sightings that show a female? Every thing I've ever seen has a woodpecker with a red head.
From what I have heard, there is supposed to be at least one pair. But the video is reaaaallly difficult to see. Now that they know where to look, we may get better footage. Thanks for watching, Nono!
I watched one work a tree just 20 minutes ago.Dothan Alabama
My son just saw one. We looked it up and he said 100% that's it. He said it was the size of a chicken.
They are still in Texas too, not saying where but have seen them
but like where or your bull shtting
Knowing that it has no signs of its extinction ita completely were untouched and mostly was tamable to one soldier who were spotted female ivory billed woodpecker that had more photos about it we all know humanity includes overhunting deforestation and habitat destruction
Hi Steve! Well, that’s certainly exciting news if it turns out there’s one still out there, but there definitely need to be more to say they’re not extinct…like the last Passenger Pigeon-you can’t bring them back if there’s only one.
Hi Mary Rose! I agree there needs to be more evidence. If they take one really good picture of an individual I'm willing to concede that there are probably more. On the other hand, I also agree with the USFWS that they should wait a couple years before proactively changing the species to extinct. Thanks for watching!
Supposedly, there are a male and a female according to the paper.
Well if they survived extinction there’s definitely more than 1. Most likely in uninhabited swamps in Arkansas and Louisiana
So, how can we be sure it's not a pileated woodpecker?
Hi Falcon! The paper was peer-reviewed and published, so independent ornithology experts reviewed all the evidence and agreed that the sightings presented were plausible. Beyond that, I don't know the specifics, but it's probably addressed in the paper at BioBush.tv/principalis. Thanks for watching!
A lot of sightings just in this comment section. I saw one too. Yeah, it was uh… big. Had an ivory bill and was pecking on some wood. Yep. 100% sure.
I think I found it let me know if anyone can help
I can already hear hunters loading their rifles, god knows they'll poach the last bird of a species
Hi JMS! While hunting was a major factor in their decline (a crow-sized woodpecker could feed a family during the Great Depression), I think a lost population of woodpeckers would be safer these days. More knowledge of conservation and better technology to enforce it, at least. The researchers specifically didn't publish the exact location to protect the area from hunters, birders, and news reporters alike. :) Thanks for watching!
@@BioBush I am aware i was just doing a bit of irony for how ridiculous it is that the the rarer an animal is the more it tends to be hunted, thank you for answering
@@BioBush I tend to agree with you. Hunters today, especially in this country, tend to be much more conservation minded than those in the past. Most of the hunting of endangered and threatened species in Africa and Asia, for instance, is driven by a booming "traditional medicine" black market in Asia. You won't find Rhino Horns, Elephant tusks, Tiger parts and Snow Leopard skins for sale here, save for the odd circumstances, but I know people who have been to Laos and Cambodia and saw them all for sale in markets there. Same goes for bear gallbladders and if I remember correctly there was also a bust in Miami recently where sea turtle carapaces were confiscated headed for Asia. Those of us who take to the field today in the US are much more aware of conservation and aren't blood thirsty monsters. We love to enjoy the wild and want to conserve it just as much as anyone else for the most part. Personally, I would love to see the Ivory bills rediscovered and see plenty of habitat set aide for them. It would make me very happy. 😊😊

I think I saw one today, I was walking my dig and it swooped down across the street started pecking at a stump. I had to go get my phone and managed a poor video it's not clear... I ll keep at it This is second time I saw it. Maybe an emperor but I'll keep watching
I think I say the white stripe
