Biography: 

When Ike hears a "big woodpecker," the narrator points out that this bird is "called Lord-to-God by Negroes" (192). (On account of their size, both the pileated and the ivory-billed woodpeckers are colloquially called the "Lord God bird." The ivory-billed is - or was; it is commonly believed to be extinct now - the larger of the two.)
