![]() ![]() The title of his book is a rather colorful name drawn from a larger contingent of names this bird had acquired over his existence with man. Across two hundred years he recounts from the writings and adventures of those early naturalists, historians, and biology professors that have shared time with the Ivory-billed woodpecker. Phillip Hoose does a yeoman’s job of tracing for us what is known of one of America’s most celebrated birds. The history of past efforts can and should be instructive to those who embark on the races of the day. There are other “races” that should have been run and many that will likely be necessary if we are to preserve the biodiversity our Creator has made provided us. We have indeed found the enemy and he is us. What makes this wave so different is that, beyond a shadow of doubt, a single species is the culprit. Science tells us that as many as 90% of all creatures that have lived have gone the way of everlasting dust and several waves of extinction have plagued planet earth over the course of its existence.
