"A unique and personal perspective on what could be one of the most significant ornithological events of the last hundred years." -- David Allen Sibley "This book is an outstanding example of the behind-the-recent-headlines genre. It tells the story of the obsessive quest to find the ivory-billed woodpecker, which was feared to be extinct (no confirmed sightings since 1944). Big, mysterious, iconic, the bird is ¼a symbol of everything that has gone wrong with our relationship to the environment." -- Scientific American
