'Extinct' Ivory Billed Woodpecker Sighted

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The ivory-billed woodpecker, feared extinct for 60 years, has been seen in a remote part of Arkansas, ornithologists said on Thursday.

"Several experts have spotted and heard at least one and possibly more ivory-billed woodpeckers deep in an ancient cypress swamp in eastern Arkansas. One was videotaped last year.

"'This is huge. Just huge,' said Frank Gill, senior ornithologist at the Audubon Society. 'It is kind of like finding Elvis.'"
