The Quest for the Ivory-Bill
Season 2
Episode 204
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is a legend in the Southern swamps, but for years it was thought to be only that, a legend. Recently a small glimmer of hope has emerged to suggest that the largest woodpecker in North America might still haunt the floodplain forests of the South. Join Patrick as he explores the wild bottomland forests in a quest to find evidence of the “Lord God Bird,” the Ivory-bill.
