Saturday, October 5, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Nature of Montezuma Lecture - Imperial Dreams: Tracking the Imperial Woodpecker Through the Wild Sierra Madre In the vast mountain pine forests of Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental lived a bird like no other—a spectacular giant woodpecker, two feet in length, largest of its clan that ever lived. With the deepest black plumage and brilliant, snow-white feathers that show as a white shield on its back, the Imperial Woodpecker is the closest relative of America’s famed Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The last documented sighting of an Imperial took place in 1956, and yet rumors still persist among the mountain villagers that this bird still lives in the remotest reaches of this mighty mountain range. Join award-winning author and wildlife photographer Tim Gallagher at the Montezuma Audubon Center for a fascinating program as he shares his adventures in search of this enigmatic ghost bird.
