  1. ok i don’t post anything other than on facebook. i can tell you where to find ivory-billed woodpecker it’s going to be in eastern nc. Either in pitt, green, or surrounding area. It can be found in large stands of pines. Even right in some townships such as Ayden to the coast along pines. Not making this up. Have never filmed one but when you see it you will never forget it. It is imprinted in your mind forever.
