Thanks, Diego, I have moved the puffbird to the "Seen" list!

The one on Pohnpei is probably still extant but - thick forest on nearly vertical slopes with almost daily monsoon-type rain, no wonder I 'dipped' ( and swore a lot ) last year. ;(

How about Kinglet Calyptura!

Been last year in the aera, and search for one day. Sadly I could not found the bird.

I thought I'd attempt to approach this in a slightly more structured way, so here's a list from www.bubo.org of all species which no listers have on their Clements World list, and which are not already in Larry's list, as far as I can tell (although some of them will be there under different names, no doubt). I would guess that there will be some genuine additions to Larry's list amongst this lot, as well as many that will have been seen by at least one contributor. You'll be saying I've taken all of the fun out of this now.

Nice idea but last time I looked on Bubo only Johnny H had posted his list. Obviously that sweeps up a lot but you also need to look at the premise pf Larry's list.

cheers, alan

[lewis20126]

.. and looking at that list its well out of date, eg a hat load of us have now seen Cabot's Trag (including JH), Grey-headed Antbird, Tawny-breasted Tinamou etc etc.

[csanchez7]

The Tacarcuna Wood-Quail on that list is a pretty good one, though. How many people have been able to access that bird's range and see this species?

Not many actually Cesar!...
a couple of Colombian expeditions have visited the area from the Colombian side and have gotten many interesting records (being published soon I hope!), new species for Colombia and even new species for South America!... the Wood-Quails as far as I know have been heard only.
would love to get up there someday!

StevePreddy my intent on creating this thread was not to be so "all encompassing". I just wished to give the people visiting this thread an opportunity to set forth a species which they thought "no one visiting this thread" had seen. Then, if someone visiting this thread, had observed said species I would include it in the "Seen list", (if they would let me know via the thread).

I have added this one to the "Not seen list".

Tacarcuna Wood-Quail

* Please see the "no one visiting this thread" stipulation in post # 1 of this thread.

[Ficedula]

Steve, why confine yourself to Clements? if you also look at IOC list on Bubo you will find many of these species posted.

But Larry, this is Birdforum ... remember our motto "the forum where no thread ever fails to go off the point" :-)

This is exactly how I intended my (rather long) list above to be used: as a way of narrowing down the search for "ultimate birds" to a manageably small pool. Has anyone noticed any others hiding out in there?

Good idea, Dave. If I get time, I'll whittle it down further.

How about liben lark Heteromirafra sidamoensis ?

Nope. I've seen that as have loads of people!

[Larry Lade]

From BirdLife International, on Liben Lark, Heteromirafra sidamoensis

"This species is listed as Critically Endangered because it has an extremely small range, it is only confirmed to occur at a single location and its range size is decreasing. Remaining habitat is rapidly being degraded, and the number of mature individuals is decreasing (the total population is now believed to number fewer than 250 mature individuals). A potentially skewed sex ratio may mean the effective population size is even smaller, and there is a very real possibility that the species will become extinct in the next two to three year."

Green Broadbill
Seen in Bwindi Impenetratable Forest - while on walk to see Mountain Gorilla from Abercrombie and Kent tented camp. Also seen by wife and two american birders plus local birding guide Alfred ? who actually got us on it. Unfortunately no photo.

OK.... I'll have another try to 'beat' you guys! (motivation out of jealousy is not a good trait, I know!)

Antioquia Brush-finch
http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/spe...t.php?id=32510

If the red sea swallow qualifies to go on the "not seen" then by the same rationale surely this little creature does?

[seanalfi]

Carrizal Seedeater

http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/spe...t.php?id=32172

More of a chance for this little known Venezuelan? But has anyone on this forum?

[lewis20126]

both good calls I suspect

Yes, in Delta Amacuro, Venezuela.

[Larry Lade]

Added to "Not seen" list: Antioquia Brush-Finch

Added to "Seen" list: Carrizal Seedeater

African Green Broadbill is on the "Seen" list

[seanalfi]

The Antioquia Brush-Finch and red sea swallow has got me thinking whether there might be some other 'obvious' omissions on the not seen list by virtue of said species only being known by one or two type specimens/skins or by a couple of reports via mist-netting etc?
