The Fascinating Connection Between Woodpeckers and Indian Drumming
Переглядів 14214 днів тому
A drum ceremony takes place at the Indian mound in the swamps of Louisana. Both myself and Raechel believe we heard what is called a double Knock. After hours of studying the audio files, it was determined that my microphones were directional and were pointed 180 degrees away from the sound. Nonetheless, after hearing what I heard and having Raechel substantiate it, I now believe there are Ivor...

    Everytime someone claims to see one in recent years they usually: 1. Already believed the Ivory-billed still exists (confirmation bias) 2. Are not adequately able to distinguish it from Pileated (mistaken) 3. Are not even in the historic range (uninformed) 4. Appeal to the potential of its existence (cope) The data points to its extinction. Your efforts would be better suited helping any of the known endangered and threatened birds on the continent

    All the evidence presented in recent years is extremely sketchy and ambiguous. For the evidence to essentially retreat into the distance as the number of birders with powerful cameras and the use of remote electronic audio sensing has exploded is as close to confirmation of extinction as we're going to get. It's a sad fact that a lot of people don't want to accept. But the evidence strongly argues that they are, in fact, extinct, and have been for many decades.

    Thank you. I saw my 1st Pileated Peckerwood today in my backyard - I thought it was a dinosaur - there was something about it's flight pattern that was mesmerizing. And his hair is very rock and roll. Beautiful bird. As I understand it the flight patterns difference is that the Ivory Billed flies like a duck when viewed from below? Is this true? Might help when the white markings are murky due to the speed of the flight pattern. Cheers man!

    I became fascinated in this topic after seeing a very large woodpecker-looking bird that flew more like a buzzard, opposed to how a Pileated darts about in 2018. I had no idea what I was looking at, and I still am not sure. I live about 30 miles north of Gainesville in a very swampy rural area near the Santa Fe river. I found out that such a bird did exist but was extinct. I have been looking for it ever since. Besides some similar kent calls that I can not confirm I have no evidence, but I will never stop looking.
