DaBirb Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I used old photo restoration on this photo of a supposed IBWO. Does this look like one? (I also uploaded this to the extinct, critically endangered and endangered topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 It's giving me a strong Pileated feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If there were still Ivory-billed left in the areas that people are currently surveying we would've had a good photo by now. There no way that the thirty or so photos of ivory billed are all 2 pixels. One would've been within a mile distance. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Details, please. Date, location, source of photo. I ask strictly for accuracy, but it's going take more than one very grainy photo to make a case for IBWO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBirb Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Actually there is another photo of the bird. It’s a pileated. Never mind. Note how pileateds also have a white neck stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIWO's wings are solid black when folded, like your photo. IBWO show EXTENSIVE white on the primaries, like RHWO. The first photo is so grainy that even the red is impossible to discern.

IKLland Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 @DaBirbyour “impressions” only prove that there’s a woodpecker in the photo, not that it’s an Ivory-billed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBirb Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 But those markings match an IBWO. Note the white line on the back (not a pileated feature) and white wing patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The white lines on the tree in the upper left aren't a feature of it either. Both are photographic artifacts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
