Spotted
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is a legendary and critically endangered, possibly extinct, species known for its impressive size and brilliant ivory-colored bill. It was historically a denizen of vast, mature hardwood forests.
Where to spot
Historically found in the bottomland hardwood forests and swamps of the southeastern United States and Cuba. Unconfirmed sightings persist, but its current existence is highly debated.
How to spot
Look for its massive size, glossy black plumage, and striking white bill. Listen for its distinctive 'kent' call and a unique double-rap drumming pattern, if it still exists.
When to spot
If still extant, observations would occur during daylight hours in its forest habitat. Any sighting would be a monumental event.

Its loud, nasal 'kent' call was likened to the sound of a toy trumpet, a unique vocalization that could carry far through its dense forest habitat.
