19. BRAZILIAN MERGANSER (t1) (BRqe) (ph)  ______ MN mar,aug,sep,oct  (photo above) 
    Mergus octosetaceus
    
    The very rare BRAZILIAN MERGANSER has been seen during a number of FONT tours: in March 1997, in October 1998,  in August 2002, in October 2003, in September 2006, and in March 2008.  
    Each time, our sightings have been in a remote part of western Minas Gerais State 
    
    Recent estimates have put the population of the species at only about a hundred pairs. Some say, however, that's too high a number. With large territories, and favoring remote areas, the merganser is not usually an easy bird to see.
    The range of the bird has included southeast Brazil, northeast Argentina, and adjacent Paraguay. It's probably now extinct in Paraguay, and may be in Argentina (where the population has been critically small). Actually, in the mid-20th Century, the species was thought to be extinct altogether. It was re-found in 1948. Now, just over 50 years later, the bird is still "too close" to extinction.

403. Forbes's Blackbird  (t1) (BRe) ______  MN may  
     Curaeus forbesi
     
     The FORBES'S BLACKBIRD has been considered a critically endangered species as it has a very small total population actually comprised of very small subpopulations in the Brazilian states of Alagoas, Pernambuco, and Minas Gerais. Thus the rare of this rare Brazilian endemic is severely fragmented in the eastern part of the country. 
     Being all-black, without any really distinctive features other than a slender bill and a unique voice, the most notable aspect of the bird is its rarity.
     The small numbers (about an estimated 150 birds at one time said to be in Alagoas, and about 40 at most in one area of Minas Gerais) has made the Forbes's Blackbird a rather mysterious  "phantom-like" species, not often seen.
     We were fortunate to see 3 Forbes's Blackbirds during the FONT tour in Minas Gerais, not far from Serra do Cipo, in May 2011.
     The birds, at about 4pm, were in the tops of palm trees in the valley of a small river. Their slender bills and recognizable call were well noted before they flew away from us.
