lnmp - I think the photo helps reinforce that the IBW was once a real, live bird, and now it may not live on the earth anymore because of the actions of humans. You're right - so sad.

I have seen that photo before, in one of the books about the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. It always makes me feel SO sad!
