The large amount of white on the upper wings certainly rules out Wood Duck. If I had to bet, I would think the video is of a Red-headed Woodpecker though. I assume that the size of the bird in comparison to the limb it landed on could be definitive.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jeff Gilligan</div><div class="">Willapa Bay</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div> <br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 13, 2022, at 10:41 PM, Tom Benedict <<a href="mailto:benedict.t@comcast.net" class="">benedict.t@comcast.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><h3 class="results-story-title" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-feature-settings: "liga"; margin: 0px; line-height: 23px; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;"><font color="#231f20" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;" class="">Evidently there are still folks out there looking for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. </span></font></h3><div class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><a href="https://apnews.com/article/science-animals-wildlife-north-america-birds-de73ecb49a997b96201d8614d38f6f49" class="">https://apnews.com/article/science-animals-wildlife-north-america-birds-de73ecb49a997b96201d8614d38f6f49</a></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Millions of sharp and in focus photos of every other bird species on earth, but all these IBWO “evidence” photos are grainy and low res. </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">I guess there’s a fast approaching deadline for official declaration from the US Fish and Wildlife Service to declare IBWO extinct, so these reports are showing up.
