If the recent fears will be confirmed it will be the first extinction of a passerine since the Po-ouli in 2004.

The last reliable sighting was in 2011

Sadly, it's not looking good at all: http://www.scielo.br/pdf/paz/v54n14/a01v54n14.pdf

Sad to hear that many birds from the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil will die out without making big headlines. In particular for the Pernambuco pigmy owl I had the hope to see a photograph anytime.

Seems that this species is still surviving.

Alexander Lees has just contacted me at Facebook. The photo at IBC is wrongly labeled. It is from 2010.
