IVORY-BILLED WOODPECKER. 
“In 1866, while I was stalking some mallards in the 
Cypress Slough, near the Warrior River, and ten miles 
west of Greensboro, a bird which I thought was a pileat- 
ed woodpecker (called here log-cock), flew by me, but a 
strange note made me at once suspect the identity of the 
bird, and in two seconds a female ivory-billed wood- 
pecker instead of the mallards was secured by me. This 
is the only instance known to me of its occurrence in this. 
country.” (1890e).
