It gets worse folks, they did a follow up.  In it there are actually two
woodpeckers, the first is a Red-headed, the second is a Pileated.  The TV
reporter fails to notice there were two different birds.  And, even though
the reporter had pictures of an Ivory-billed for comparison, he still seemed
to imply the "mystery" bird might be an Ivory-billed.  Pathetic.

Horrible journalism!   This spreads misinformation and  also humiliates the
man who observed the bird.  I suspect he was well intentioned.

My other choice of word for malpractice wasn't list friendly.
