An expedition team in Venezuela, supported by American Bird Conservancy, rediscovered Urich’s Tyrannulet, a flycatcher bird endemic to the cloud forests of northeastern Venezuela.
It has only ever been seen four times since 1899. The last sighting was in 2005, and it was one of 16 bird species in South America no one had reported in eBird, which prompted a team of ornithologists and local naturalists to go looking for it and find out if it had gone extinct.
