Happiness of ornithologist ...

Of course there is happiness, this is unlikely anyone will argue. But for different people it is quite different, although in recent years more and more associated with material goods. For people engaged in science, the material is usually relegated to the background, although it is important. But in any case the first place is the opening of the desire and luck is not all!
May 22 of this year, all the news spread through the ornithological resources of good news in Brazil found the bird, extinct in the number of lists.
Since 1941, about it at all was not any news. However, and until 1941, only 8 reliable findings: 5 in the 19th century and 3 - in the twentieth. And then out of the blue just 12 ... at least! And live!
This one's gone!
Blue-eyed earthen turtle dove, Columbina cyanopis.
State of Minas Gerais, in Brazil-yu.

It's hard to put into words the joy that swept Brazilian colleagues! And of course you can understand them, this discovery is expensive!
One of them is Rafael Bessa shared his emotions in his FB page. As first I heard an unfamiliar voice, recorded it, and then beckoned to play .... and how I almost fainted with joy when the bird flew to the unknown voice recording and it was blue-eyed ground turtle .... it does not obey his feet and hands of overwhelmed with emotion .... and how the brain refused to believe ... etc.
Well, this case gives us hope that is somewhere in the secret parts of the unsurveyed more live ones, which we have long been buried, recorded in the black list!
