I came across some very interesting photos today that can be retrieved online from Cornell's Library. There are several, old and striking color photographs from the Singer Tract, including photos of male and female Ivorybills, feeding sign and members of the research team. Some of the photos can only be viewed as thumbnails, but many can be enlarged. This is the first time that I've seen a few of these photos. And it's the first time that I've seen some of them in color!
Click here for the link to the search result where you can find 75 images (as of this writing).
If you want to search for them yourself, the easiest way to retrieve all of the images at once is to:
1. Go to this link:
http://library24.library.cornell.edu:8280/luna/servlet
2. Then, use the ADVANCED SEARCH feature to search for ANY of these words:
ivorybill or ivory-bill or ivorybilled or woodpecker
Note, you should enter your keywords and leave spaces. An "OR" will be automatically inserted between each word. Again, as of this writing, the search retrieves 75 images, and many or most of them are related to the Ivorybill.
I noticed that in one b&w photo, there is a bird on the left side of a trunk that I think is a Pale-billed Woodpecker, mislabeled as an Ivory-bill; the toes are right for
Campephilus, but the feathers aren't right for Ivory-bill.
There is a photo of a male Ivorybill feeding young that's interesting to compare to the similar photo you may have seen here in VIREO:
