Скачать или смотреть Cundinamarca Antpitta: "New" Bird

The leggy Cundinamarca Antpitta inhabits misty highland cloud forest, lush habitat it shares with many other birds, including the Grass-green Tanager, Blackburnian Warbler (in winter), and the Chestnut-crowned Antpitta. Although seldom seen, this bird clearly advertises its presence with a distinct and resonant "Fuit Foh Feer" song. Yet this distinctive vocalization did not turn ears until top world birder Peter Kaestner heard it on October 16, 1989. His curiosity piqued, Kaestner taped the song, then played it back. Forty-five minutes later, a mid-sized bird hopped into view with a combination of field marks unlike other Colombian antpittas -- a white throat, grayish underparts streaked thinly with white, and an olive-brown back. In 1992, the species was officially recognized. Kaestner was honored for his find in the species' scientific name: Grallaria kaestneri.

Deforestation has transformed the area where the Cundinamarca Antpitta was first located, and this Endangered bird's future remains uncertain. Have steps have been taken to ensure its survival?
