The
Grail Bird: Hot on the Trail of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, Tim
Gallagher An unparalleled birding adventure story, Gallagher searches
for — and rediscovers — the magnificent ivory-billed woodpecker, once
thought to be extinct. His initiative launches a massive search to authenticate
the sighting, ultimately resulting in major conservation of the bird's habitat.
This is the true and up-to-date story of all the searching in the last fifty
years, culminating in the bird's authenticated re-discovery in February, 2004,
in Arkansas. Gallagher is current Editor-in-Chief of the Cornell
Laboratory of Ornithology's Living Bird. Hardcover; 288 pages;
illustrations: 8-page color insert; 5½ x 8¼.
