🐦Ivory-billed Woodpecker

Campephilus principalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

Der Elfenbeinspecht (Campephilus principalis), auch als Herrenspecht bezeichnet, ist der zweitgrößte Specht Nordamerikas. Ihm nahe verwandt ist der etwas größere Kaiserspecht (Campephilus imperialis), der in Hochlandwäldern Mexikos seinen Lebensraum hat. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass beide Arten in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ausgestorben sind, obwohl immer wieder Sichtungen gemeldet werden, die sich allerdings nie eindeutig verifizieren ließen.
