The Durango pine forests have been logged over numerous times since 1956. The forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental, just does not have stands massive enough for there to be dead and dying trees, which the woodpeckers require to survive. But I am not discounting the 2006 sightings, but when Martjan Lammertink of Cornell Lab went on expedition there in 2010, he found no evidence that they still existed.

My Friend. The Imperial Woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis) is already extincted (50-60 cm) There are some others still alive like Campephilus guatemaliensis (almost 40 cm) and Campephilus principalis (48-53 cm)...

Too bad that this bird is extinct now... But it's really great that it is filmed once! Very unique!

Wow. Its sad that this bird is gone. There have been some credited sightings in mexico around 2006, but very few probably exist, if not completely extinct.
