¡Extra, extra! Tras 13 años, ¡nos reencontramos con el enigmático, endémico y críticamente amenazado #ColibríDeSantaMarta #SantaMartaSabrewing! Este genial encuentro ocurrió mientras Yurgen Vega, investigador local, buscaba loros con World Parrot Trust, ProCAT Colombia/Intl y SELVA (1/5).

This is *incredible* news! A critically endangered top 10 #LostBird and species that has only been seen one other time since 1946. Congrats to SELVA and their partners on the amazing work. #SantaMartaSabrewing #SearchforLostBirds

S/o to Jason Gregg who led this expedition with me and to John C. Mittermeier of American Bird Conservancy. We couldn't have found this species w/o the help of our Papua New Guinea collaborators Doka Nason, Eli Malesa, Serena Ketaloya, and Bulisa Iova, and the knowledge of Fergusson hunters.

John C. Mittermeier John C. Mittermeier, director of the Lost Birds program at ABC and co-leader of the expedition, said: “It is the kind of moment you dream about your entire life as a conservationist and birdwatcher.”

I am super excited to share the first video of the Black-naped pheasant-pigeon, a species from Papua New Guinea lost to science for 140 years! American Bird Conservancy Re:wild Jordan Boersma John C. Mittermeier

On a small island off New Guinea, a camera trap has captured the first images *ever* taken of the Black-naped Pheasant-Pigeon, a bird that has not been seen by scientists in 140 years. news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/1…

Pure joy! Me, checking and re-checking the camera-trap screen after realizing the Black-naped pheasant-pigeon still exists!!! #lostbirds #Auwo

Birders know the feeling when you a see 'dream' bird for the first time. So just imagine how this must have felt for the researchers rediscovering a bird not documented in 140 years - MEGA

Thank you Rich Grenyer 🐪💨! We are super excited about the news!!

Joy as bird feared extinct spotted in Madagascar bbc.in/3y4buJ9

Incredible. Makes you wonder how many other crazy rarities like this are out there that never get detected.

“Lost birds” represent some of the biggest mysteries in bird conservation. Learning more about them is vital for science, but 'rediscovery' raises critical social questions. Our Lost Birds Fellow will help us envision a more ethical conservation future. bit.ly/3wLqm1R
