Corrections to original broadcast: Gene Sparling, who first sighted the bird in Arkansas, is a kayaker. David Luneau does canoe, but is not known as a kayaker. 2. David Luneau took the ivorybill video in April 2004, not winter 2005 as noted our report. The announcement of the rediscovery of the ivorybill was May 2005. With regard to our usage of "pecking," the bird's double knocks should be described as "drumming" which is the appropriate scientific terminology and refers to territory demarcation. © Copyright 2010, kuaf
