The largest of the North American woodpeckers, the ivory-bill is approximately 18 to 20 inches in length, and makes its habitat in cypress swamps. It's call has sometimes been described as a nasal-like "henk, henk." Because of its size, the hammering of an ivory-bill on a large cypress tree has been described as loud as someone striking the tree with a hammer.
