Long-Lost Bird Spotted in Indonesia for the First Time in 170 Years
The black-browed babbler, whose scientific name is
Malacocincla perspicillata, is so rare that only one specimen was ever procured and documented, and that was between 1843 and 1848, according to a paper that was published in the Oriental Bird Club’s journal Birding Asia. (Courtesy of M. Suranto)
There is very little recorded information about the bird, including population size or whether the babbler is endangered or not. Currently, its protection status is assessed as data deficient by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
