Jackson covers the history of many searches for the woodpecker. He also coveres the many areas in which searchers have looked. He also covers pretty thoroughly the history of the woodpecker's existence prior to 1935. Jackson's bok on these birds is unique in that he gives space to all the searches and historical sightings prior to the bird's sighting in Arkansas in 2004. This is a well rounded compilation of information. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In Search of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is a complete natural history of one of the most exciting and rare birds in the world. Noted ornithologist Jerome A. Jackson takes the reader on his fantastic and personal quest, providing detailed insights into the bird's lifestyle, habitat, and cultural significance, examining its iconic status from the late 1800s to the present in advertising, conservation, and lore. As he relates searches for the bird by John James Audubon, Alexander Wilson, and others, Jackson offers anecdotal tales illuminating the methods of early naturalists, including how one captive ivory-bill destroyed a naturalist's hotel room in a desperate attempt to escape. Jackson's search for one of the few remaining ivory-bills takes him across the United States and into Cuba. A new epilogue disputes the putative rediscovery of the bird in April 2005.
