I'm glad I stumbled upon this blog. Some of my favorite examples like these include the Red Sea Swallow, known from one specimen killed at a lighthouse, and the White-eyed River Martin, whose breeding range was never known. I keep hoping for their (re)discovery, and there are bunches more like them. This is an excellent, well-written post! I’m glad I stumbled upon this blog.

As you said Scott, it’s very exciting when a species once thought to be extinct re-emerges and I wholeheartedly agree that these episodes are a call for birders 1) to keep searching and 2) to increase our efforts toward habitat conservation. The second part of this story is <a href="http://neotropicalbirding.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/second-chances-rediscovering-lost-and-extinct-birds-part-ii/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. And part III of the series will be posted soon. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Cheers Hi Larry and Scott,

As you mentioned there are a variety of reasons that once thought extinct species can re-emerge, but whatever the reason it is always exciting. Whether for birders, conservationists or wildlife lovers it provides great hope and reason to continue habitat protection. Looking forward to the next parts. Thanks for the excellent piece!
