Back From The Dead,

scientists documented a sighting in 1882,

photograph American Bird Conservancy, and since then, only locals on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea have seen the bird they call "auwo," and those sightings were decades ago, as an aside as mentioned in the link above, do not jump into the pools on the island, back to the bird, researchers say finding the bird was like 'finding a unicorn' the bird in question is black-naped pheasant-pigeon, (Otidiphaps nobilis insularis), and here is the good news, a team of scientists from the Papua New Guinea National Museum, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the American Bird Conservancy spent a month setting up camera traps in the mountains of Fergusson, and guess what they found on one of the cameras? a black-naped pheasant-pigeon, and here is the actual moment the discovery was made,

I should mention there are a few swear words involved in the discovery! the trap was set 3,200 feet up a ridge, Jordan Boersma recorded the moment he recognized the bird in the camera trap's footage and showed it to his colleague Doka Nason, what a fabulous find, a creature returned from the dead, this is one of those story's I love so much.
