One of the most glorious birds ever seen on this continent has been rediscovered, after being thought extinct since the 1940s.

The ivory-billed woodpecker has been spotted - and videotaped - in Arkansas.

No, I hadn't. Thanks for the link. I can't believe the bill on the one Cuban specimen! Amazing that its parents continued to feed it past the nurturing period, since it could not get insects for itself.
