Jeff Bahls to speak

An excerpt from this page:

The public is invited to attend the meeting on Thursday, Sept. 20, of the Horicon Marsh Bird Club.

Club President Jeff Bahls will be speaking at 7 p.m. about his experiences in searching for the ivory-billed woodpecker.

The meeting will be held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Visitors Center, W4279 Headquarters Road, Mayville.

The facility is located three miles south of Highway 49 on County Trunk Z.

Believed to be extinct for 60 years, the ivory-billed woodpecker made news when credible sightings and recordings were made in Arkansas in 2004.

In February of this year, Bahls was chosen from a nationwide selection process to help with the search for the elusive bird.
