Washington Post: Bird's Advocates Challenge Corps

Check out this article from today's Washington Post:
---
A group of environmentalists is trying to block construction of two federal water projects in Arkansas, arguing they could damage the habitat of the highly endangered ivory-billed woodpecker.
....
"We shouldn't risk destroying the last remaining habitat for the ivory-billed woodpecker in the pursuit of extraordinarily marginal projects, at best," Searchinger said.

In the above article, I see no mention of any doubt whatsoever that the Ivory-bill lives. Doesn't the Post know about the public skeptics?
