extinct or alive has taught me,there's always a possibility that these animals can get rediscovered
It's called Hope. Daniel
Sounds like every time someone finds one, someone shoots them
Yes on islands and in rainforests… areas that are literally inaccessible to everyone.
I saw a female around February 2019. Used to see them occasionally as a kid, but not now. I didnt realise untill recently they are supposed to be extinct. I see Pileated every day so i know the difference, and their are many.
@@Mr.Pennington … delusional
Aww I love the way it sounds....This makes me sad..and mad too! It's a beautiful bird and I hope it's out there somewhere
I have one on my land in the swamp
Human behavior has caused so much destruction and we never seem to care until it's already too late
I like the expansion into other extinct animals. Your channel was recommended to me after searching a lot of videos for Thylacine and the Passenger Pigeon.
I think there's a better chance that the ivory-bill is still around than the thylacine.
Passenger pigeons are as good as gone. They simply can’t thrive without large community. The reason the captive breeding program failed back at the beginning of the 20th century is because they need huge numbers to successfully mate
It's a beautiful bird. i hope they still exist.
I've see 1 less than 10 years ago. It look similar to a duck when I seen it, but i thinking hmmm I've never seen a duck in a tree. About 15 mins later I heard the famous pecking
I've seen two flying together in southern Louisiana after a hurricane. At first I thought they were two ducks flying by until they got about 20 feet from me. I looked into what they were later and realized it was the ivory billed woodpecker. Beautiful and alive!
Yes, it could have been. It did fly just like a duck, in my opinion. @@Revelationscreation
Reminds me a bit of the "dead parrot" sketch. It is a passed pecker! 🐦
There a was a recent news report stating that the woodpecker was sighted again by a number of scientists on an expedition to find them.. Admitted the photographs they took were terrible, but the scientists claimed they sighted them (albeit distant) on a number of occasions and by separate scientists..
Steve Latta, the head of the National Aviary, was one of those ornithologists. It would be hard for someone of his caliber to mistake it for a pileated, and he said he observed the bird for several seconds.
@@justinhoward6755 The bird is like bigfoot.. if an "expert" wants to find one, he's gonna think he found one.
@@hockeyrd99 Why then haven't I claimed to have found the Tasmanian Tiger? I've been looking for many years, even moved to Tasmania, and have a lot of cameras out right now...
I'm actually mortified as a young man in 2010 my brother and I where out in the woods and my little brother just wanted to scare it away but managed to hit it well over 200 feet away in the head and it died....with a paintball gun....a 90$ crappy cant hit the side of a barn one too..... I'm like 99% sure it was an ivory or a pileated, of which it was small but that means there is more!
I'm sure going out with my son now nearly 13 years later I'm going to dedicate time to listen and find this bird!
It would ease my soul knowing I did my conservation about this bird as conservation of animals and more so history is my largest goals in life!
This truly is upsetting though to have thought at one point I had heard hundred of wood peckers and see ALL SORTS of beautiful birds as a young boy and as the cities and housing bought up all the land kind of just noticed going out with my son that Them sounds are far and few between now....
They are a lot farther north than everyone is looking, a lot farther.
The Great Lakes and even reports up into Canada have had sightings but no proof.
My brother hasn't wanted to hunt especially any bird, rather bring a camera and other hunt as he do not have the heart, even for conservation efforts like over population, or herd managing which is necessary as we have removed the predators and must or else diseases will plague the herd.
Well, the good thing about them being undiscovered for now is that they are undisturbed and can mate and make more woodpeckers in peace.
One of these just flew into my windows today and played in my back yard for about 5 minutes - south Florida!
I just seen a RUclips channel called bird Garden that had proof of some and it was from few months back
I probably shouldn't mention what we had for Thanksgiving last year 😬
There's also the Imperial Woodpecker... a Mexican relative who was the largest woodpecker in the world. It's extinction hasn't been 100% confirmed. Some still believe they are out there.
The imperial is 10x more likely to be still around. Mexico is truly wild however I suspect it is also extinct.
@@Revelationscreation I believe the imperial woodpecker has been extinct for many years due to the complete absence of sightings for a number of decades now.
I wanted to add to my last comment. You did make mention of the guy called Mason Spencer who shot the bird and took it to authorities. That situation exemplified the attitudes of today and could very well happen again.
He was not some wild guy out in the woods shooting at birds. There was discussion of the bird being extinct, Mr. Spencer KNEW the birds were still out there and so he was issued a PERMIT to go kill one to prove it. Which he sadly did.
Which is almost where we are at today. There have been several reputable people out there seeing the bird in the harsh habitat, they haven't gotten any definitive pictures and so one wonders if it will come down to someone shooting one and dropping the fresh carcass on the desk of someone in charge to keep them protected.
Also, regarding the Singer Tract where the birds were filmed in the clip you showed above. The Singer Sewing Machine company was just about to agree to have the property protected, unfortunately WWII became an American problem and they were contracted to provide wood for ammo boxes and caskets. So the land was logged. And ironically, it was logged by German POW's brought to US soil.
The bird experts acted like the birds just dropped dead because this virgin timber forest was gone.
There were still forests all over the SE United States, everything people believe about the Ivory Bill is based on Tanner's study of these very few birds in the Singer Tract.
Birds are adaptable. They make due. When the tract was cut down, it was likely they just flew off to other forests. Albeit, not the virgin timber forests that the Singer Tract was.
All over the SE United States there are bottom land river forests, swamps, with large hardwood trees. They are not the dry land forests that the Singer Tract was.
And I'll say it again, the loudest critics in the birding community simply don't go into these habitats to search. The best they will do is float in a kayak for a few hours, call it a search and because they don't see the bird they say it's extint.
Look at the few people who've spotted it and ask them how many hours, days or months they've spent in these habitats to get the few sightings they've had.
It's a lot of square miles of forests out there. With just a few little channels of open water.
They're out there and time will bear that out.
8:54 I like the product placement you included in the vid there. Smart thinking showing your EveryoneActive card😏.
I live in Arkansas duck hunters see them every now and then people talk about them they are just very illusive I honestly think they have adapted to be this way because they were hinted almost to extinction at one point
They are pileated- makes sense that duck hunters can’t tell them apart.
@@Revelationscreation There are people from all walks of life who have mistaken pileateds for ivory-bills. Try to base your opinions on facts instead of anti-hunting ignorance.
@@FischerFan yes and all shouldn’t be making those mistakes. A duck hunter usually isn’t an authority on non-waterfowl species. The most they know is the ducks that visit their local lakes which they can shoot at with shotguns… using lures to bring birds in so close that missing the shot becomes the more difficult task.
@@Revelationscreation So how do you feel about the turkey hunter who claimed to have seen a pair of ivory-bills in a wildlife management area in Louisiana 25 years ago?
Do we reject his claim simply because he was hunting turkey that day?
@@FischerFan no, we reject his claim because he has no proof. Again (unless it’s an experienced birder or ornithologist) if a non-experienced individual has such a claim it’s better to take it with a grain of salt.
Actually even if the person is experienced it’s still not good to take them at their word. There’s hundreds of reasons for why a person might falsify a claim- one such example to spread the belief that the IBW is still here is because of the protections that it’s previous habitats were getting while it was still considered as endangered on the ICUN list.
All the information in this video is giving me hope that they are still alive. Hopefully they are and one gets rediscovered.
THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
Great video! I really do hope there’s a breeding population somewhere out there.
Arkansas would be a good place to look. My dad said they saw them when he was growing up in the sixties. He is an avid bird watcher ans naturalist.
I live here N.E. Arkansas and I always look to see if I can spot one. I keep a camera with me.
I took a mile walk in the woods today even though I got a little cold.
The Ivory Billed is gone. The environment they need to survive and thrive doesn’t exist anymore.
Well, researchers just caught one on a trail cam the past week or so, apparently they aren't extinct.
@@dukecraig2402have you seen the video? It's trash.
Let’s not forget that the Pileated Woodpecker looks nearly identical to the Ivory-billed Woodpecker…at least to the untrained eye. And Pileateds are found in the same part of the US. Most of these sightings are probably misidentification.
And “good enough” is not a phrase that we use in science.
Close enough: pretty much everybody outside the Atchafalaya Basin pronounces it Atchafalaya, while those who live there speak in guttural drones that can't be reproduced by actual humans.
This comment section is full of people interpreting their pilleated Woodpecker sightings as ivory billed woodpeckers.
If any ivory billed Woodpeckers still live out there: I wish you the best health and the best dead wood you can get.
I used to go hunting with my dad all the time. At no point where we just shooting wildly at the slightest bit of motion in the trees or air like the fella you mention that shot the ivory bill and took it to the proper authorities was doing. Infact in all the times I went hunting I only shot one magpie and I felt TERRIBLE and kinda stopped doing the shooting . My dad and myself thanks to him are bird crazy. We love birds. When hunting You identified what it was before you pulled the trigger.we only hunted on farms and only on farms we had permission to hunt on obviously but we were also told what we could target. Birds mostly considered vermin and legal to kill. Wood pigeon is something that could be eaten and was delicious but also crows, magpies,(not eaten but we didn’t usually shoot anything that we couldnt eat.) these guys are just shootung first and asking questions later.
“Pair of supposedly extinct wood peckers? Those would be worth a few bob dead to a taxidermist I know. Where did you say the nest was at?gimme a min to I get my gun and you can take me snd show me and we can split the money “
With attitudes like that its a miracle we have any wildlife left atall.
I deffo think IBWP is a species that could genuinely be out there. It would be fantastic if they were rediscovered like the night parrot down under
I wouldn't have trusted the taxidermy guy to tag along. Ever
There is one of the ivory build woodpeckers in my neighborhood I'm.
Me personally I believe the Ivory-billed woodpecker is still out but just in much smaller numbers than before I used to believe that when an animal was extinct they were extinct but after stuff like Extinct or alive when they actually found a Zanzibar Leopard live on a trail camera it completely changed my view on extinct animals and their been so many rediscovered creatures like the Coelacanth so yes I think the woodpecker is still out there hiding
Hopefully it's the same for Kuai O'o
A leopard that lives in a massive area that hadn’t been investigated by wildlife experts in decades… that’s why it wasn’t seen during that long period.
Ivory-billed Woodpeckers don't live underwater.
I saw a female in southwest va in 2019 for a couple minutes up close. It was bigger than a pileated and Unlike its only lookalike it had an ivory bill, big goofy yellow eyes, no red head but a big black cowlick like alfalfa, no black line around its eyes like a football player, it had white racing stripes, and a big white band on the trailing edge of its wings, its pecks were more poweful and the cadence of pecks was different than the Pileated, and it made a kent call.
You can’t judge a birds size well… this is why ravens are separated from crows based on other factors and there’s a much bigger difference in size then that.
Do you own binoculars?
Though I suspect you are lying. Do you have any photo proof- if it called why didn’t you record it? How come you haven’t told any authority.
Never mind you’re a conspiracy nut… so lying is what you do to get attention.
@@Revelationscreation i hate lies, Even my enemies would tell you that. Im not some anonymous troll; this is my real face and name and i would prefer to be taken seriously yet i know this makes me sound crazy. I could very well judge its size, seeing i had plenty of time to study this pokemon of a critter, it was just a few feet away and standing on a 2x4 which is 1.5 x 3.5 inches. It was close enough for me to hear its stiff tail feathers pluck the 2x4 as it waddled along And it flew to my tiny birdfeeder and dwarfed it. Since it hung from a wire the feeder inverted as far as it could go when the birds weight was applied, to the point it hit the 4x4 post of the porch. The female ivorybill pecked at some black oil sunflower seeds while hanging underneath. I saw it from all angles, up close, heard its call, saw its distinguishing features.
@@Mr.Pennington pileated- no offence but are you a bird watcher?
You are the same as others- an attention seeker. You’ve uploaded videos on 911 conspiracy videos. You’re just someone who wants to be special.
Now, my landlord has a homestead and he has a portion of it untouched. There are dead trees and his property is not far from water sources. He puts up no hunting and no trespassing signs but poachers tear them down. He has trouble keeping the poachers out. He gets regular visits from a bald eagle as well. There are landowners that leave portions of their land untouched for wildlife. There is a possibility that they are out there.
The Ivory Billed Woodpecker is potentially extinct, not entirely confirmed.
Ivory - Billed Woodpecker -- If you've seen one you've seen them all. Daniel
My parents saw one in our front yard
No
You’re parents saw Pileateds not Ivory Bills.
It's safer for the birds if people believe it is extinct. Not saying anything about sightings
It pisses me off they want come to my state of South Carolina to look for them because we’re the only state where ivory bill woodpeckers lived that still has a 2,000 year old uncut growth of trees. The Congaree National forest holds the world record for over 100 different varieties of trees by height logging companies were never able to get in there to log it. It’s a massive track of land and it’s almost totally impossible to get in there to view all of it.
Man I live in Livingston Louisiana and we see those things all the time... Send the scientist to me.. I'll show them where to find them
Same kind of nut jobs see Ivory Bills as that claim to see Bigfoot.
i seen two a few weeks ago. i thought it was a skunk at first. ill have to get some photos as they live on my property. didnt know they where rare till youtube showed me these videos.
Months back snapped a picture in my neighbor back yard sure looks like it to me here in ohio
I used to see a pair in my neighborhood until I saw an article declaring them extinct. Haven't seen them since to get a picture 🥲
I thought Dodo birds were also extinct until reading most of the comments on here.
That's not James Tanner that you keep showing with the juvenile woodpecker on his back. I realize you have but a few short minutes to try and compress a ton of information. Suffice it to say, lots of errors but they are insignificant to those who know nothing about the bird's history.
It should be noted that the last "confirmed" sighting by Don Eckelberry was not by a scientist, he was an artist. And he claims to have seen the last bird in the Singer Tract, producing a painting.
Why is his sighting so readily accepted as "confirmed" but so many reputable scientists today that claim to have seen them are quickly disregarded?
There have been many sightings in recent years but the birding community, being the snobbish crowd they are, refuse to acknowledge ANY sighting without a brilliant picture. To some degree I understand this.
It should also be said that the most critical and VOCAL critics have never left their couches to go into the swamps to look. And those that do, go out for 3 hours in a kayak and claim they went searching. 3 hours. Right.
When Arthur Allen and the Cornell crew went into the relatively small Singer Tract to film and record the sounds of those birds you showed, it took DAYS being led by a GUIDE to the nest. DAYS. In a very small area.
The habitats today are HUGE and largely unexplored. Most of the area these birds live in now are unnavigable. You cannot get a canoe or kayak freely through the swamp forests of the Southeastern United States. You have to use channels. And this means, because of the density of the trees, if you DO happen to see one, it's going to be fractions of seconds, in between trees, you'll be unable to follow them in your kayak.
Something critics wouldn't know because they're too fat and lazy to get off their couches and actually go look. They'd rather just attack the very few who've dedicated their own finances and time to look.
Which brings up another point about the Singer Tract. It wasn't a swamp. They walked. For days. On land. With a guide.
To say they don't exist is to say that people from Cornell like Tim Gallagher, Auburn University Professor Geoff Hill, Scientist and birder Mike Collins, ALL either lied or misidentified the birds they saw multiple times.
And there are others.
The birding community in the USA is a mean bunch. Beyond mean, they are cruel. And conceited. And brash. And very narcissistic. And those are the loudest critics. And nearly all, have never spent one single full day in suitable habitat.
The birds exist.
I will be spending up to 4 straight months in North Florida searching with all of my photography equipment, going as a photographer, not a scientist. You have to go in the winter months because the leaves on most of the trees are gone. Visibility is almost impossible when the trees are leafed out. I am going to go in with only one plan, to get clear photographs and video.
This nonsense needs to be put to rest.
The people who've gone in so far and have sighted them are using GoPro cameras, camera traps, etc. You cannot even on a good day hope to get a clear picture of any bird using these. Not in the swamps when you're shooting from hundreds of yards away with tree limbs in your way and bad lighting. You need a camera with a proper lens and viewfinder to look through. It takes skill.
I've developed my skills over the last several years and am ready to do this.
My strategy will be different. I plan on putting myself in the habitat, taking my canoe deep into the swamp, finding a piece of dry land and pitching a tent. And sitting. And waiting. The birds are nomadic, flying over large swaths. While photographing wildlife, I've learned that the best pictures come from sitting in habitat and waiting. Walking or paddling constantly is a losing proposition.
It was their guide J J Kuhn whose pictures with the juvenile nestling on his back and hat..he was banded and placed back in the nest...Tanner named him "Sonny Boy"
Even if you have a photo, the snobs will not believe you unless you have a doctorate in Ornithology. Years ago I had a friend that banded birds for 35 years. He said he saw one in Georgia in 1973. I believe him, but he couldn't get anyone else to at that time.
I have a ivery billed woodpecker at my house I have a picture
I live in Ohio. I truthfully mean it when I say that I see these birds all the time.
When I was 13 in 2009 I used to spend a lot of time in my woods, and fishing in the crick near my house. I used to see these woodpeckers all the time, and I started to look up woodpeckers in Ohio and seen that they were supposedly extinct. I was shocked because I genuinely have seen these near my house since I was little and I still do. I went for a run the other day and seen this bird. I see them all the time.
Those are pileated woodpeckers. They look almost identical to the untrained eye.
Have you ever taken a photo of one of these woodpeckers? I’d love to believe you.
Ohio was never in there range… people need to start learning about birds before they claim to see an extinct one.
I don't believe a Pileated woodpecker has white on it's wings like the bird in the video at 11:13
Can you do a videos on if seagulls are extinct also the 1968 photo does look like one
Great video! More of these types would be great cookie - keep em coming! 👍🏻
Man , I'm from Brazil and I see this woodpecker around here .
I live in Pernambuco state 50 km from the capital Recife .
This bird is not extinct
Please get video.
1. No you don’t/didn’t as this bird was always found only in the southeastern United States and Cuba (North America). It never ever in the history of earth inhabited Brazil.
2. You most likely saw a close relative such as the Crimson crested Woodpecker (Campephilus melanoleucos).
@@johannesswillery7855 I will try to get a video
@@axesaxes7596 Video of an Ivory Billed Woodpecker would be worth a couple of hundred thousand dollars US.
Prove it
I have a picture of one I just took it 03-21-24
They are kinda big
Upload it or you're a liar
@@TrentonThompson-qp4stupload
I saw 2 working athe the state park i work at see them ocasionally.
It lives in the deep swamps because what people goes into the deep swamps
I see them all the time there’s even young ones this year I do have some photos or I can take one lol
It definitely fly's like a woodpecker
The Creator has something against this poor creature.
Just another reason of many to hate the logging industry
That thing in the tree was a Taz 🐅 😂
Gone, gone and long ago. It's as dead as the dodo.
When a habitat no longer exists, neither does the wildlife it supported. There is no more ancient woodland left. End of story.
All the areas it's been falsely claimed to have been seen are parks, with park rangers. Many of whom know these areas like the backs of their hands. Strange how they never spot, photograph or video them, don't you think?
So, you didn't watch the video?
@@chrisgaming9567
The last video evidence was nearly 90 years ago. It's long dead, never to be seen again. But hold on to your fantasies if ignorance is your goal.
@@markcynic808 So, you didn't watch it, thanks for clarifying.
@@chrisgaming9567
You're an ignorant and gullible oaf. Enjoy!
@@markcynic808 If you aren't willing to listen or learn, then you aren't worth talking to any further.
Come to the project I guarantee you will see it
There is also the Imperial Woodpecker
I saw one today in an ancient cypress swamp.
Wing beat or not, Pileated don't have white wings.
It's Cache river in Arkansas
I would like to look for the Javan tiger 🐅
love this series
In the summer i get 1 or 4 ivory wood peckers at my house.
What you see is Piliated Woodpeckers, they look almost identical.
Look up a picture of one then look at the pictures of these, you'll see.
Honestly, hearing that the taxidermist killed them make me like, "HOW ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID?!?!" I really don't get it. It makes terribly sad.
At that time in history collectors were paid by museums for specimens. They weren't stupid, just tryin to earn money.
I saw a Pilleated today here in Covington La. I got goose bumps thinking it was an Ivory Bill at first. I believe their here too. Honey Island Swamp isn’t too far from here. 🤞🏼
A certain wingbeats per second may differ per individual and does not confirm whether or not it was an ivory bill
Hi cookie don’t mind this comment if it is not you but today 21st of July I went to a Forrest in Cornwall and I saw someone that looked a lot like you and if it wasn’t you I would have been embarrassed just wanted to know if it could have possibly been you
I think the ivory bills are still alive maybe a little more North and it is really hard to tell between the two at first glance without getting a real look at them plus that one guy got that real fuzzy photo of it or something I don't know I like to think it is
I mean... if there are any left 500 years of learning to fear humans would make any surviving individuals extremely skittish
You can find the John dennis recording on ebird under Ivory Billed Woodpecker.
I'm just a kid who loves birds looking for hope I found it!!!
The problem is the Pilleated Woodpecker. I have these guys around my house.
I live in Vermont and see Pileated woodpeckers from time to time. Stunning to see, and I now have a scheme.
I'm thinking of taking a Pileated woodpecker, spray-painting it to look like an Ivory-billed, and seeing how much money I can get for it on eBay. If there's one thing I've learned from Jurassic Park movies, it's that greedy billionaires and evil corporations pay big money for extinct species. Fingers crossed!
It's hysterical how many people in these comments are swearing up and down that they've been seeing Ivory Billed Woodpeckers for years around their house, as you and I both know they've been seeing Piliated Woodpeckers instead, but don't try telling them that, they'll get spitting mad.
It's funny that they believe they've been seeing something on a regular basis that researchers who do this for a living only just filmed one on a trail cam in the past week or so.
All kinds of people swear they saw Bigfoot in their back yard to.
I believe!!!!!!!
They sound like a clown car 🥲
But this is was a super fascinating video about a bird I knew next to nothing about. It's a real shame because they are fascinating and truly beautiful. I wonder if they were talked about more then more people would report sightings
A few months ago we saw a big Woody Woodpecker in our yard in NC. I immediately recognized him. I wish I had not deleted the picture.
That 2005 “fluke” pic does look like it could potentially be an ivory bill.
Fantastic video Cookie. Really enjoyed this one buddy👍👌
No
They are about the size of a crow and they are louder than any other woodpecker
I am a mail-lady in EastPonit GA, and I have seen this bird on certain streets in the same neighborhood. I've heard them pecking and upon seeing them, they are magnificient looking. Especially the red color on its head, and the stark black and white body. Will try to take pictures next time. I had never seen a wood-pecker in real life. Only in cartoons as a child. I will keep an ear and eye out from now on.
Those are pileated woodpeckers. Still a cool bird nonetheless.
Likely a pileated, especially in GA
I think it is very possible but not enough people know about it to recognize it in the wild
May oneday we will get a clear image. I wonder if the imperial woodpecker and the cuban ivory billed woodpecker may alsó still exist.
I've seen large salamanders also and I believe a business is wiping them out from new builds around a community
Again a great video!
I do hope he is still out there.
Maybe you should head to the US? 😬
Interesting that the area on the map "Cache River State Natural Area" is North of the Ivory Bill Woodpecker range and yet when I mentioned or tried to submit some pictures, of interesting Pileated Woodpeckers (maybe Ivory Billed Woodpeckers), from South Eastern Virginia the Ivory Bill Woodpecker reporting website (that I had found at the time) refused to submit or even look at my my footage. They replied that Virginia was out of range.
Gallagher and Harrison and the subsequent expedition were focused south of that area in Arkansas.
That was narrow-minded of them. Unlike scientists and "experts", wildlife doesn't adhere to territory/habitat maps or boundaries. Scientists should always keep an open mind about the adaptability of nature.
You missed one but following on past Gallagher and Harrison Cookie. Researchers from Auburn University and a university in Canada presented audio recordings and fresh nest cavity measurements consistent with Ivory Billed Woodpeckers from the Florida Panhandle a few years after the last video you showed. Having talked to someone on this team, I can say I was told they had sitings of live but lacked photographs or video recordings and so did not present it.
The audio was disproven- the Audubon scientist became a laughing stock and the nest cavity was extremely old and it was impossible to date the feather.
You need to read more then one article.
@@Revelationscreation Where did I mention Audubon or feathers? You just need to learn to read it seems.
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 I thought auburn was a misspelling of Audubon…
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 wait are you talking about the more recent sound recording… the one which was thrown out immediately.
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 oh- the guy who apparently sighted the bird 16 times and yet never got a picture of the bird. Saw an interview with him- the guy who said that these pictures which were edited into black and white were proof.
It would be easier if non-Americans were assessing the situation- Americans would believe anything.
Which animals in (North, Central and South) America could/would produce ivory on a mass scale?
Walruses
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 true, that's an unclean animal tho. My forefathers could only use ivory from clean animals (Leviticus 11). Such as a deer (in particular: a Vampire Deer) etc. Thanks for responding tho.
I do think that Africans would use walrus tho (the Phonecians) they are a unclean ppl ... I'm AmarruKhan Yisraelite/American Indian.
7:20 Of course his name is Neil😂
Yes I watch a few in WNC
As to the sighting declared hoax Iv never seen an ivory billed woodpecker obviously but I have seen a few woodpecker species in real life in the uk and American ones on tv shows etc and the one thing I noticed is that when all the species where perched against s vertical tree the tails come from the body and lie flat against the bark of the tree like they helped them balance on the tree or something. That doesn’t appear to be happening in the “hoax” pic but the quality isn’t good enough to say for sure.
Ivory Billed Woodpeckers aren’t a hoax. If you aren’t saying that, learn how to spell better.
@@raihothexiv15th37 dude wtf you talking about? Did you even watch the video and read my comment? It doesn’t appear like you did. I never said it was a hoax I was referring to the sighting mentioned in the video that OTHERS AT THE TIME declared a hoax you tit.
And my predictive txt changed “were” to “where” . So what. Did that get your panties in a Knot? Tough titty if it did coz I don’t give a damn. This isn’t a spelling bee its the comment section of youtube so instead of me learning to spell why don’t you learn how not to be a moron.if you can which I sincerely doubt.
I had one of those in my backyard a couple years ago. I am positive it was that woodpecker. We live in a small town area and have two acres of wooded area. I saw him in our tree, biting the bark, throwing it left and right looking for bugs. He was large for a woodpecker. We have other woodpeckers but this one was large and had that ivory bill, red head, and he was very fast. I was shocked and should have taken a photo of it. People shoot birds, it's so horrible. I hate people who hunt for sport. Stop shooting birds and other animals!!!
It’s called a pileated woodpecker looks similar.
Definitely pal
Maybe but most likely gone 🤔
I heard and saw an ivory-billed woodpecker in the summer of 2018. It was in a woodlot next to a lake at Johnny Henderson Park. I first heard its "kent" call and then I saw it. It had a pale bill and had more black on the front of its face. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
I see them In my backyard on the suet feeders by the treeline
Those are Pileated Woodpeckers
You’re seeing Pileateds as John already said.
Zero evidence.
So, you didn't watch the video?

Produce high quality verified video. Expert witnesses and DNA evidence. Evidence...
@@andylane247 You know there is a middle ground between "zero evidence" and all of that, right? Also, if you watched the video you'd know that one of those things actually has been acquired.

Nobody of scientific substance thinks that.
Certainly Cornell and Sibley are not yet convinced.
