M. David Luneau, Jr., who took the only video ever taken of the ivory-billed woodpecker when the bird was discovered in eastern Arkansas in 2004, will be the featured speaker at a seminar hosted by the University of Arkansas at Monticello’s school of Forest Resources

Luneau, an associate professor of electronics at the University of Arkanas at Little Rock, has been actively involved in the search for the rare bird, a species thought to be extinct.

Luneau led a six-person international team that searched the Pearl River in Louisiana in 2002 and he organized and led a search for the woodpecker in the White River National Wildlife Refuge in 2003.

The seminar will take place Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Forest Resources Conference Center and is open to the public. For more information, read about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker search, find out more about Luneau, watch video from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology or contact the UAM School of Forest Resources at (870) 460-1052.
