Call of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker*/
Bobby Harrison, Oakland College, Huntsville, Alabama
Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m.



For over 60 years, the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker has been considered 
extinct, the victim of logging. However, in 2005 a team of scientists 
and bird enthusiasts reported that this beautiful bird is still alive in 
the swamps of eastern Arkansas. Join photographer and birder Bobby 
Harrison, part of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker research project, for a 
first-hand account of the rediscovery of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, 
from hip-deep, boot-sucking swamps to the politics of science and 
conservation.
