(象牙啄木鳥因為長著一隻象牙色的大啄而得名,黑白相間的翅膀上有著醒目的白色斑點,身高約有50厘米,翅膀展開可達80厘米,是世界上體型最大的一種啄木鳥。雄性頭上有紅色的鳥冠。象牙啄木鳥曾經在1944年被定為“滅絕品種”。但是,2004年2月11日,一位觀鳥者在阿肯色州卡什河國家野生動物保護區旅行的時候,無意中看到了已經銷聲匿跡60年的象牙啄木鳥。象牙啄木鳥要覓食的對象是林中最高的大樹,尤其是龐大的柏樹叢。因此,象牙啄木鳥在一定程度上被看作是森林環境被保護優劣的標誌。from -- internet)


Title: The lord god bird
Artist: Sufjan Stevens

In the delta sun, down in Arkansas
It's the great god bird with its altar call
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
On the great bayou where they saw it fall
It's the great god bird down in Arkansas

And the hunters beware, o'er the fisher's fowl
And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed
It's the great god bird through it all

And the watchers beware, lest they see it foal
And paradise might laugh when at last it falls
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
It's the great god bird with its altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird with its altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird through it all
