This species has been in trouble for nearly 130 years. When the great riverine forests of the southern swamps were clearcut, the species began to vanish. Assumed extinct since 1944, one bird was videotaped in an Arkansas swamp in 2004. Since then, birds have been observed in other southern states, and even more video obtained from Louisiana's Pearl River Basin.
