RE: Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Found!

Even if I can't see them, I love hearing them jack hammering in woods as
I'm working in the yard.  I'm so easy - a Pileated during the day and
conversations of owls in the evening and I'm a happy girl.

When I lived in Maryland there were several pair of Pileated Woodpeckers

that lived in the woods near a house I rented for a while.  I love 
watching them.  Amazing birds and the about of tree back and wood they 
could removed while pecking, resulted in a small pile of sawdust
beneath!
