Never Say Never

From Science Now (5/28/05)

"A woodpecker believed extinct for 60 years has turned up in Arkansas. The ivory-billed woodpecker, one of the world's largest, once lived throughout the southeastern United States. But extensive clear-cutting destroyed its habitat, and by the mid-20th-century, the red-crested bird was thought to have vanished. Now, a team of ornithologists today reports evidence online in Science of at least one living in a wildlife refuge in east-central Arkansas."
