in late april the Existence of one, or more ivory billed wood peckers was reported after being considered extinct for over half a century --

in th words of rhe most famous woopecker

ha HA ha HA HA


flash of white
ghosting
through the bottomlands
cryptic calls
on the wind
a lost species
shows itself
secretive survivor
in the bald cypress
red capped recluse
rising from extinction
ecological ghost
ghost no longer

Hooray for this determined surviving bird, and hooray for this fine ode to him, John. I only wish many more thought to be extinct creatures could somehow resurrect themselves.
