Somehow I suspect this bird is
the kissing cousin to the extinct ivory billed woodpecker. It is surely exploiting similar environments. It will also make actual renewal very easy as
it will be a matter of identifying minor differences in the DNA and having
these birds raise the offspring.
The past two centuries saw the
extinction of numerous small bird populations.
I anticipate that the next century will see the actual restoration of
almost every one of those species in protected refugia. It will take a lot of effort, but the science
is almost there right now.
In the meantime, enjoy watching
this piece and the efforts used to simulate their sound. The device shown can obviously be used in the
swamps in the southern USA
