This one was a half lifer for me on Monday. I count heard only birds for my Life List but also maintain a list of those heard onlys. I was finally able to see (and film, photograph and audio record!) a central American Pygmy Owl.

Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher was the last one of some 70 IOC ticks (more according to BirdLife or Brazilian list) on Fernando de Noronha and in Amazonia.
The most exclusive tick was probably Chestnut-headed Nunlet, but this will likely receive a steady stream of visitors as long as the water level is high enough.
Not many people go to Noronha, but you need just 10 minutes on the island to see the endemic birds. The line for the entry payment takes longer.
