Associated Press Wire Photo of Woodpecker Conservation Stamp

AP - Sat Aug 13, 12:58 PM ET

This painting provided by Alabama artist Larry Chandler, shows a stamp featuring a painting of the ivory-billed woodpecker by Chandler, who painted a picture of the woodpecker so scientists could showcase the bird when its rediscovery was announced last spring by federal officials. In an effort to raise money to preserve habitat for the ivory-billed woodpecker, a group of conservationists are publishing a commemorative stamp of the bird, which was thought to be extinct until a kayaker spotted it last year. The money will go to the Big Woods Conservation Partnership, a coalition of groups aimed at protecting the Cache River bottoms where the woodpecker lives. (AP Photo/Larry Chandler)
