Imperial woodpeckers are believed to be extinct. There have been no confirmed sightings in over 50 years, and their original habitat has been nearly totally destroyed. They were native to Mexico.

Although assumed extinct, there were credible reports in the 1990's, and also in 2005. The closely related ivory billed woodpecker was assumed extinct for 60 years til good evidence was taken in 2004-2007 from Florida, Louisiana, and especially Arkansas, where a bird was videotaped.
