Ivory-billed Woodpecker: Dead again.

[StClone]

The purported resurrection of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, given life with a "positive" video ID in 2004, has become a ghost story again. Along with 22 other species, it is now called extinct. The Ivory-billed, last indisputably seen (filmed) over 70 years ago in Louisiana, may still occur as a subspecies in Cuba (last accepted sighting there in the ''80s) would indicate extirpation (loss of a species from a specific landform/area) rather than total extinct (lost from the world).
