"Ivory-bill" reality finally setting in at the National Audubon Society?

From Bootstrap Analysis here:
As has been announced on every other bird-related blog, the National Audubon Society and American Bird Conservancy have rolled out the 2007 WatchList of our most imperiled birds. Kudos for not including the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the top 20. It is on the main list, but the population is given as "maybe 1, not more than a few," and it is diplomatically noted, right off the bat, that there have been recent reports but "independent video analysis and a lack of further confirmed sightings have brought a deepening sense of disappointment."
