🐦Ivory-billed Woodpecker

Campephilus principalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

El carpintero picomarfil, carpintero real o picamaderos picomarfil (Campephilus principalis) es una especie de ave de la familia de los pájaros carpinteros (Picidae). Desde 1944 hasta el 2005 se consideraba completamente extinta. En los años 2004 y 2005 se han producido avistamientos de, al menos, un macho en Arkansas, así como confirmaciones a partir de los sonidos que hace el ave que son muy distintos de los que hacen otros miembros de la familia Picidae. En 2022 se confirmaron avistamientos en Luisiana.​ El carpintero real es el segundo mayor pájaro carpintero del mundo, siendo ligeramente menor que carpintero imperial (Campephilus imperialis) del oeste de México, con el que está emparentado. El carpintero real mide de 48 a 53 cm de longitud y pesa entre 450 y 570 g.
