All you baws that claimed to have seen one, it's time to step up for public comment. Last confirmed sighting of the ivory bill was 1944... wow

The ivory-billed woodpecker was perhaps the best known species the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared extinct. The woodpecker went out stubbornly and with fanfare, making unconfirmed appearances in recent decades that ignited a frenzy of ultimately fruitless searches in the swamps of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.

The announcement kicks off a 60-day comment period before the species status changes become final.

Definitely never killed those hook billed suckers

I never realized how big they were until I watched 'Extinct or Alive'. They were up to 30" tall

And they claim it’s all due to climate change.

Been saying this for 60 years.

I saw one the other day in Pearl River. It was a very stunning bird.

Oh yeah, because that can't be undone if they find one later...

A guy I used to work with insists that he saw a pair while he was float fishing the Bogue Chitto near Franklinton. This was about 20 years ago.

I don’t know enough about birds to make a definitive statement, but we had one very similar to this that would go at a big loblolly yearly. This was in Hammond circa 1988 or so. We had the tree cut down and it never came back. It had very similar marking, if not identical markings, with a yellowish beak.

Pileated
Ivory-billeds beaks are not yellowish hence the name
There are reward signs all over for them and I am sure the guy that put up the signs has gotten a whole bunch of calls about pileated woodpeckers Can’t imagine some of the folks he would have to talk to

I did not realize Bachman's was extinct. Just makes it even more funny that ivory billed woodpecker guy caused a stir by claiming to see one recently.

I thought the same thing when I saw that.

Bachmans warbler He saw bachmans sparrow. Common in pineywoods in central and north east Louisiana

these two look a lot alike...many 'sightings' of the ivory billed were likely mistaken

The last Ivory Billed Woodpecker I saw (we used to call them wooden-nannys when I was a kid) was in the Bogue Chitto swamp in Washington Parish, near Enon, back in the early to mid 70's. There was a pair nested near the top of a very large, dead, cypress tree in the middle of the swamp. So I know for a fact that it did not die off when they say, though it may have left us now. Who knows?

It had been eleven years since someone had seen the elusive Sushidog. So, you never know when an ivory-billed woodpecker might pop up.
