a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

well, it's not an ivory-billed woodpecker - I would have been impressed if you had a picture of that ;-)

The site where I found the video footage has a sound file as well. Link
Sound.
Cool that they've been rediscovered. Link.

The first bird is a "Crested Water Walking Double Variety Bird".

As far as I can tell. Only one bird in each encounter. Hard to tell if it is the same bird but so far all they are saying publicly is that there is confirmation of one male in the search area.
"Video evidence and sightings of Ivory-billed Woodpecker in eastern Arkansas in 2004-2005.
KENNETH V. ROSENBERG, JOHN W. FITZPATRICK, MARTJAN LAMMERTINK, and RONALD W. ROHRBAUGH, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca NY 14850.
On April 25, 2004, David Luneau obtained a short videotape of a large black and white woodpecker fleeing from a water tupelo trunk in Cache River National Wildlife Refuge, Monroe Co., AR. The following diagnostic traits constitute the first evidence for existence of Ivory-billed Woodpecker (IBWO) in the United States in over 60 years: (1) a measurement of wing “wrist” to tip of tail made from the Luneau video (34-38 cm) is comparable with identical measurements taken from 1935 film of IBWO and measurements of IBWO specimens, but is larger than Pileated Woodpecker (PIWO); (2) pattern of extensive white and black on perched bird just prior to take-off and on the wings of the flying bird is consistent with IBWO and not PIWO. At least six well-documented visual encounters between 11 February 2004 and 14 February 2005 further support the existence of at least one male IBWO in that region during that period. One sighting involved two competent observers and two other sightings consisted of brief but careful studies through 10X binoculars. Extensive searching from December 2004 through April 2005 clarified that the sightings area is not a roost area or frequently visited part of a home range. No conclusive evidence for presence of IBWO was obtained in areas of seemingly suitable habitat in the adjacent White River National Wildlife Refuge. We believe the bird or birds range widely through this region and are unusually quiet resulting in very low detection rates. Searching will continue through 2005-2006."
