For example, the federal government owns less than 1% in Connecticut but nearly 80% in Nevada. For example, migratory waterfowl make extensive use of national wildlife refuges during migration or as wintering grounds.

For example, hummingbirds must find patches where there are still flowers. For example, nectarivores (hummingbirds and Bananaquits) showed a significant drop, which was not surprising given the loss of flowers to winds. For example, most nectivore numbers continued to be low. as well as below the 10-year range (47.7-68.2).

In short, I truly believe that there still are, maybe not plenty but a good number of species that to this day go unnoticed to the scientific eye, but are surely known to the indigenous peoples (the best example is the newly discovered giant rat from the Solomon Islands). The Cocha Antshrike was one of these species not long ago.
