Rohrbaugh will speak about The Most Regal Bird: A Fascinating Journey into the Re-Discovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Rohrbaugh will take his audience behind the scenes in the historic search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the Big Woods of Arkansas. Just when everyone thought this most regal of woodpeckers was gone for good, a persistent search reveals its persistence. From the experiences of Alexander Wilson to the thrill of seeing an Ivory-billed first hand, Rohrbaugh will describe the rich history and ecological saga of North America's largest woodpecker.
