The ivory-billed woodpecker, which lives—or lived—in the Southeastern part
of the US as well as Cuba. This huge woodpecker was considered extinct
until 2004, when a handful of tantalizing reports of sightings in
Arkansas and Florida began to trickle in. Proof for the ivory-bill’s continued existence has remained elusive,
and if a population does exist, it is likely to be tiny and extremely
vulnerable. The ivory-billed woodpecker owes its near- or complete
extinction to habitat loss (logging) as well as over-exploitation by
humans, who hunted it for its feathers.
