Hello everyone!
A very important discovery has been done in Brazil. The Columbina cyanopis, which was not recorded since 1941, has just been re-discovered in Minas Gerais state, Brazil.

The news article below is in Portuguese, but with some google translation you might be able to get some idea about this.

Cool, Jefferson.  Thanks for posting this.  They got an excellent image of it as well, which should help with future sightings.
