Study finds young male bluebirds reluctant to leave home

Tune in October 16, 2005 to see the ivory-bill rediscovery featured on the television show "60 Minutes."

Even after they have paired with a male, female North American Barn Swallows still comparison-shop for sexual partners. And forget personality; the females judge males by their looks--the reddish color of the males' breast and belly feathers.

Now you can hear it for yourself. After analyzing more than 18,000 hours of recordings from the swampy forests of eastern Arkansas, researchers at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University have released recordings offering further evidence -- including the legendary bird's distinctive double knock -- for the existence of the ivory-billed woodpecker, once thought extinct.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology announce the establishment of an e-mail address and associated web site to report sightings of the rediscovered Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

State fish and wildlife agencies, conservation organizations, and universities will participate in recovery effort covering the bird's historic range.

Author Tim Gallagher from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology shares the dramatic story of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in "The Grail Bird".

Long believed to be extinct, a magnificent bird -- the ivory-billed woodpecker -- has been rediscovered in the Big Woods of eastern Arkansas. More than 60 years after the last confirmed sighting of the species in the United States, a research team announced on April 28, 2005 that at least one male ivory-bill still survives in vast areas of bottomland swamp forest.

There's suspence and anticipation: Who will be the one-millionth participant to file a checklist of birds seen at their feeders?

The definitive reference on more than 700 species of North American birds has taken the leap into cyberspace. All 18,000 pages of the landmark series The Birds of North America are now online, accompanied by video footage, sound recordings, new image galleries, and more.

Project FeederWatch, a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders in North America, serves as a perfect home school activity because participants learn to make careful observations and to identify birds they observe at their feeders. The project encourages independent study and stimulates children to ask questions about the natural world. The project fits easily into a home school curriculum and provides an endless source of wonder and enjoyment for parents and children.
