"Outside" magazine article

The March 2006 edition of Outside magazine contains a lengthy article on the claimed Ivory-billed woodpecker rediscovery. Including illustrations, the article is spread over parts of seven pages. Below are some excerpts (the bold font is mine):

Within four weeks of identifying the unextinct bird, Sparling had shuttered his stable, where he'd been running a horseback-riding business, and turned his attention to ivorybill stalking full-time.
...
"I was familiar with the legend of the ivorybill," says Sparling, who speaks with a richly seasoned raconteurial drawl. "As a young man, I fantasized at great length of traveling to the Big Thicket, in Texas, finding a lost colony of ivorybills, and photographing them." Even so, his jubilation at seeing the bird was marbled with pure terror. A wayfaring, neo-beatnik entrepreneur whose resume includes a failed Baja whale-watching concern and an abandoned shiitake mushroom operation, Sparling was wary of a public drubbing: "I thought, Oh, shit. Here I am, a guy with no education, no formal training, saying he'd seen an ivorybill. I expected everybody to say, 'Sparling, you idiot, you moron, you're delusional.'"
...
"To be honest," he [Sparling] added, "I have somewhat let go of the need to see the bird again myself. Seeing it's not nearly as important as restoring the habitat..."
...
[quoting Sparling again] "It's amazing: Here you've got what's probably the rarest bird in the world, regularly flying over I-40," He shrugged and paddled on. "Sure hope he's flying high."

In this entire article, the only mention of the Ivory-bill controversy is this single sentence:

In July 2005, when a trio of rival scientists threatened to mount a challenge to the findings, the audio captures convinced the skeptics.
