![Fig. 2. Selected video frames of the woodpecker in the Luneau video [(A and C), left column], comparably distant and imperfect video frames of a pileated woodpecker recorded in the study area in similar postures [(B and D), left column], and interpretative sketches by J. Fitzpatrick (right column). With these distances and light conditions, bleeding tends to exaggerate the apparent extent of white in the wings. However, careful study of these and numerous other video examples consistently reveals dark trailing edges on both upper and lower wing surfaces of pileated woodpeckers—features not present on the bird in the Luneau video.](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Russ-Charif/publication/259707550/figure/fig1/AS:341169448996866@1458352543552/Selected-video-frames-of-the-woodpecker-in-the-Luneau-video-A-and-C-left-column_Q320.jpg)

The ivory-billed woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), long suspected to be extinct, has been rediscovered in the Big Woods region of eastern Arkansas. Visual encounters during 2004 and 2005, and analysis of a video clip from April 2004, confirm the existence of at least one male. Acoustic signatures consistent with Campephilus display drums also have been heard from the region. Extensive efforts to find birds away from the primary encounter site remain unsuccessful, but potential habitat for a thinly distributed source population is vast (over 220,000 hectares).

... The use of the equation posited by Ryan & Baker (2016) is useful, but finding the values of the variables involved is difficult. We concur with adopting the precautionary principle (Meijaard & Nijman, 2014), atleast until we can see to it that a stable population has been established by protecting their habitat (a secrecy-based approach which has been employed before (Fitzpatrick et al, 2006)). This is due to the potential threats it faces upon public announcement. ...

... However, sensational claims of ivory-billed woodpecker sightings occasionally emerge and make their way into peer-reviewed journals (Collins 2011, 2017a, 2017b, Fitzpatrick et al. 2005, Hill et al. 2006, 2018, 2019, Latta et al. 2023. The most notable among these was the 2005 publication in Science (Fitzpatrick et al. 2005 ), which garnered widespread global attention through extensive coverage in mass media. ...
