Ivory-billed woodpeckers, artwork
Ivory-billed woodpeckers (Campephilus principalis), historical artwork. This artwork is from The Birds of America, a famous bird guide written and illustrated by the US ornithologist John James Audubon (1785-1851). The male, with the red crest, is at left, with two females at upper right and lower right. At the time, this bird was known as Picus principalis. It was considered to have become extinct by the end of the 20th century, but in 2004 there were reports that some ivory-billed woodpeckers had been seen in some parts of the USA.
