I would have gone with the ivory billed woodpecker, but they were considered extinct since the 1930s. But they are back in style in the Arkansas deltas these days. Very low numbers, but they are still around. I take my woodpeckers seriously. I have a family of yellow-bellied sapsuckers growing up in my back yard, they are rather awesome.
When bird images and bikes collide into one, I am in love. I mean Raleigh has a heron cut into their chain wheels. I consider that to be f-ing awesome.
I am in Texas, so don't get me started on scissor-tailed fly catchers. If you have never seen one in action I feel badly for you.
