A humble widower alone in his canoe in Big Woods, Arkansas, sees, for a fleeting moment, an Ivory Billed Woodpecker. His heart is full of joy that this bird, long thought to be extinct, is still among his neighbors. When the world finds out about his sighting, scientists and strangers arrive to mount a proper search. -- from publisher's description.
