Looks at the bird's lifestyle, habitat, and cultural significance and examines its iconic status from the late 1800s to the present. Jackson's search for one of the few remaining Ivory-bills takes him across the United States and into Cuba. A new epilogue disputes the reputed rediscovery of the bird in April 2005.
