Judge halts irrigation project over woodpecker habitat
A federal judge paused a 320 million irrigation project on the White River, citing possible habitat disruption for the ivory billed woodpecker. The suit by environmental groups argues the Army Corps of Engineers failed to assess risks under the Endangered Species Act, while scientists remain divided on the bird’s existence after a 1944 sighting and a disputed 2004 kayaker claim. The judge must assume the bird may exist for the case, affecting study requirements.
