With winter search season largely over, no telling how long we’ll go without significant news… so if you’re looking for summer reading (and you’re into fiction) here are 7 old novels that have the Ivory-billed Woodpecker as a main character or focus:
“The Lord God Bird” by Tom Gallant
“The Life List of Adrian Mandrick” by Chris White
“AVES — The Age of Engagement” by C.J. Berry
"The Elvis Bird" by D.E. Woolbright
“Ivory Hunters” by Gregory Lewbart
"Of The Wing: The Ivory-billed Obsession" by Georgia Anne Butler
“The Lord God Bird” by Russell Hill
Also saw an idea on Twitter recently that I liked for someone with a creative-writing flair: do a novel about a birdwatcher who goes off in search of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker only to not be seen again (the birdwatcher)… can imagine all sorts of twists and turns for that storyline! (and then the movie with Richard Dreyfuss in the lead, entitled 'Close Encounters of the Bird Kind' ;)
…OR, here’s another one: a novel about a blogger, obsessed with this species, who’s skeletonized body is found slumped at his computer keyboard after going 23 days and nights without food or water while pouring over clear, definitive photos sent to him by a Pascagoula, Mississippi moonshiner named Bubba. ;) (this one called perhaps, "The Blogfather," starring Al Pacino)....
