Synopsis
The ivory-billed woodpecker is an American icon, featured in Audubon's art, conservation campaigns, and product ads. Jackson (Florida Gulf Coast U.), an authority on the now extinct species, offers an accessible synthesis of its natural history, searches--including his own--to sight the birders' Holy Grail, and a state-by-state summary of its forme

A good read
9. Mai 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a good read for anyone who's interested in the ivory-billed woodpecker. Although it does not have any information about the rediscovery of the bird in Arkansas, Dr. Jackson has spent his entire adult life studying this bird and has some interesting insights. I also just finished reading "The Grail Bird," a brand new book by Tim Gallagher--one of the people who found the bird. It's like a combination detective story and adventure, and is also very funny in parts. I couldn't put it down. Another great book that has a section on the ivory-bill is "Hope is the Thing with Feathers," by Christopher Cokinos, a first-rate writer. If you're truly interested in learning more about this species, I highly recommend reading all three books.

Do Ivorybills still live on?
13. August 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Jerome Jackson's lifetime of study of, and search for, Ivory-billed Woodpeckers has been distilled into this fine volume. He believes (and certainly hopes!) that a few Ivorybills have managed to survive, unlikely as that seems. In this book, he gives a detailed picture of what we know of Ivorybill biology, as well as an idea of the many questions that persist. He also describes very well the decline of Ivorybills, which he attributes largely to habitat loss.
Early ornithologists who saw, collected, painted, and photographed the birds are given life in these pages. Finally, Jackson describes his own careful searches for the bird, both in the southern US, as well as in Cuba: he just may have encountered Ivorybills, but the fleeting encounters are frustrating.
I certainly recommend this book to those interested in birds, or endangered and extinct species, and wildlife in general.

Correction to below review
29. April 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Just to make a correction to the review written below. The author of this tale is Jackson, not Tanner. Tanner did indeed see and record the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.
