鳥類學家日前於佛羅里達州東北部一座偏遠的沼澤森林中，發現非常罕見的白嘴啄木鳥，可惜此次未能捕捉到牠的影像。一般認為，白嘴啄木鳥在美國已絕種超過50年。一國際研究組織於25日宣布這個發現，同時給予保育人士一線希望，相信這種不易發現的鳥類仍持續在繁殖。
Ivory-billed Woodpecker Spotted in Florida Swamp
Ornithologists have spotted the very rare ivory-billed woodpecker in a remote swamp forest in northeastern Florida, but have failed to capture a picture of the large woodpecker, previously thought to have become extinct in the United States more than half a century ago. An international research team announced the discovery on Tuesday, giving hope to conservationists that a breeding population of the elusive bird still exists.
