Search for ivory-billed woodpecker featured Sunday on '60 Minutes'

ITHACA, N.Y. - Last spring's news of the rediscovery of the ivory-billed 
woodpecker - unseen for six decades - stunned birders, scientists, 
conservationists and everyday people around the world. Now the news of 
the rediscovery effort, led by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 
will be featured on CBS News' "60 Minutes" this Sunday, Oct. 16, at 7 
p.m. EDT. 

The segment was videotaped on location in the Arkansas bayou (where the 
ivory-bill has been sighted) and in the Acoustic Analysis Lab at the 
Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 
the leading scientific and research organization in the search for the 
ivory-billed woodpecker, has partnered with The Nature Conservancy, the 
nation's leading land-conservation group, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service in the Big Woods Conservation Partnership to conserve the 
habitat for this magnificent bird and other wildlife in the region.
