… greatly exaggerated …

A passing kayaker rediscovers
ivory-billed woodpecker in Arkansas. The bird was thought to be extinct since 1944, and it’s not exactly a small tweeter, so this is a major discovery.

And what’s really surprising is that the species has a finnish name, rämetulikärki, sometimes the tenacity
of finnish hobbyists/scientists is just overwhelming.

Next up… The return of the formidable Moas in New Zealand, couple of Dodo species and whatever the cats, rats and pigs extincted in the pacific islands. You’d wish.
