Re: [microsound] museum of lost sounds

they are most likely not extinct, as a recent audio recording was done
of it's distinctive call ether in hot springs or the Felsenthal National
Wildlife Refuge arkansas,  don't remember exactly, would have to look it
up.

ah - thanks google! here we go:

"The “Corridor of Hope” refers to the Big Woods of Arkansas, an area
about 120 miles long and up to 20 miles wide in eastern Arkansas where
the Ivory-billed woodpecker has been sighted."

this is just east of little rock in central ar.

personal experience around 1980 (i'm about 7 years old @ the time):

my cousins, my mom and i were playing in the woods where i grew up in
southern arkansas (union county, rural El Dorado).  we saw a large bird
caught in some vines.  at my mom's encouragement, he threw a stick at it
and broke it's wing (for fun and food! :).  

when we saw it on the ground, we realized that it was not a common bird,
and tried to nursed it back to health.  my mom spent a lot of time on
the phone to various agencies to get it identified.

unfortunately, after just a few days we found it dead in it's water
bowl.

doin' my part for tha environments,
