"One of the largest species of woodpeckers in the world, the ivory bill once populated forests from Texas to Florida. The bird disappeared after large-scale logging felled thousands of acres of forest in the Southeast between the 1880s and 1940s." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article discusses recent (2005) sightings of the ivory-billed woodpecker--thought to be extinct--in Arkansas.
