Bustards, Grebes, Eurypygiformes, Loons, Mousebirds, Trogons, and Seriemas in North American Zoos

I posted an update in Zoo Miami, but its relevant to this thread:

"Kagu appears to be gone. Does not appear in aviary list that I received and I also have pictures of the exhibit it was kept in and the signage is no longer there."

Also, looking through my photos it appears that they added Sunbitterns to Amazon exhibit as well as Buff-crested Bustards (in the same enclosure with the Yellow-billed Hornbill).
 
A few updates:

No sign of Sunbittern at Smithsonian earlier this year. Of note, the Kori Bustard haven't been on display since the Bird House closed (they are held in outdoor yards up there on the plateau, all of which is blocked off).

SDSZSP did not have Kori Bustard during my visit earlier this month.

Memphis also has the trogon.
 
Update - lots of uncertains on this one. Confirmations for bustards, grebes, trogons, and Kagu would be most helpful.
Seriema is not doing so well as it may seem - I believe roughly three-quarters of the current facilities hold single education birds; the future of the species in NA is increasingly uncertain.

DWA still has both quetzals but they are bts for breeding

Zoo Miami hasn't had Kagu for a little bit sadly

At Blank Park, I wouldn't take that as a definite sign, as there's lots of places to hide in their rainforest house and their signage hasn't been updated for many years - it's entirely possible that Sunbittern is still present, but was unsigned and unseen.

FWIW, I put a question mark there as I couldn't find anything recent about Sunbittern being present. I'd be inclined to suspect it is indeed gone.
 
Kansas City Zoo no longer keeps kori bustard.

Blank Park has all new, updated signage for the birds in their Discovery Center aviary.
