TORONTO When two birdwatchers spotted a bird that was previously considered extinct, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The local birdwatchers, Muhammad Suranto and Muhammad Rizky Fauzan, were curious about a bird they had spotted in Indonesia’s Borneo rainforest. The men had managed to capture the mysterious bird last fall and sent photos to a group of ornithologists for identification. After the photos were examined by several bird watching groups, experts came to the consensus that it was the black-browed babbler – a bird that had otherwise been considered extinct in Southeast Asia. The last time there was a recorded sighting of the black-browed babbler was approximately 170 years ago.

In the 1840s, a mystery bird was caught on an expedition to the East Indies. Charles Lucien Bonaparte, the nephew of former French leader Napoleon, described it to science and named it the black-browed babbler (<i>Malacocincla perspicillata</i>).
The species was never again seen in the wild, and a stuffed specimen featuring a bright yellow glass eye was the only proof of its existence.
However, the black-browed babbler has now been rediscovered in the rainforests of Borneo.
Two local men, Muhammad Suranto and Muhammad Rizky Fauzan, chanced upon a bird that they did not recognize in Indonesia’s South Kalimantan province in October last year
