Are we to believe that the same people who flock to a tiny, remote canyon of Big Bend National Park to record the much quieter, much smaller, and much less conspicuous Colima warbler for their life list would not be able to find a single ivory-billed woodpecker for 60 years?(Again, when I reference other people's words here, I'm not implying that I necessarily agree with everything they say).

Actually the Colima Warbler is easy to find and you have almost 100% chance in seeing this bird as they breed and sing in this small area in Big Bend State Park, Texas. Its the long walk up there that sucks.
Comparing the Colima Warbler to the Ivory-billed is not a good comparison. There has been several species of birds in the tropics and other parts of the world that were considered extinct and were discovered years later by birders.
