Title: Best study of the Ivory-billed available
Review: This is the definitive study of the ivory billed woodpecker. Tanner spent many months in the fast-disappearing Southern old-growth forests in the 30s, and probably saw more ivory-bills than anyone in the 20th century. He describes their feeding, mating, etc., habits and regional differences.The sad thing here is that Tanner was well-aware that the birds were on the verge of extinction, and the tone of the book is quite poignant.I just wish this edition had more material on how the book affected later researchers and some updated material on the possible rediscovery of the bird.
