Have a look at this:

They have sound recordings of both calls and wood-pecking. There are also a number of sightings which, as yet, are unconfirmed with video.

Yeah, a photograph is the holy grail for this one. Matt Aresco of Nokuse Plantation spoke at our rotary club a while back and mentioned this. Lots of audio of the distinctive call, but no one has gotten the shot. I believe the bird is out there, and sure would love to see one.

Those Auburn links don't do anything. I've tried them several times.

Now that we've got DNA, a feather from a roost hole would be just fine. Maybe even better than a photo, since DNA can't be faked. You can just hear the skeptics discounting a photo.

I am not sure, but the Panama City Crawfish was recently placed on something like a threatened or endangered species list, so there could be potential problems with that. I am not sure if an animal which is still yet to be proven to exist can have an effect on the airport.

They have crawfish in Panama City?!?! Oh, goody!

Yes, but there is probably a $10,000 fine and max of five years in jail for each one you eat.

But when one craves mudbugs the temptation may prove too great.

OK, here is something useful for those planning on hunting peckers. The specimens on the left are Pileated woodpeckers, alive, well and found in WALCO. The two on the right are Ivory Billed woodpeckers. The potential for mistaken identity is obvious.:shock:

Back prior to reading about the Ivory-Billed, I use to see what I thought to be Piliated Woodpeckers in my yard on occasion. I wonder if ... nah, probably not. I haven't seen any Pileated WP for a couple of years now.
