Ivory-billed Woodpecker Information

ACONE

The pictures on this page were taken in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge, where the camera system developed by Ken Goldberg, Dez Song, and their co-workers was installed on 10/26/06. There are two cameras facing in opposite directions. Each camera can take 11 frames per second of a 3-megapixel image. The only images stored on the hard drive are those images in which pixel changes were detected that might indicate a bird (or birds) flying by. They have done sophisticated algorithm development to try to eliminate "non-bird" events, such as clouds or leaves blowing by. We check the results of this camera system regularly.

What does IBWO stand for? Ivory-billed Woodpecker. It's the 4-character bird banding code for the bird.
Every bird is assigned such a code, and there are easy rules. Read about the naming rules here. For more information contact david@ibwo.org
