A recent expedition to Alto Sinú in the Department of Córdoba, Colombia, led by Sociedad Ornitológica de Córdoba, Asociación Calidris (BirdLife in Colombia), and the National Natural Parks found approximately 30 bird species not previously documented in the department. The expedition team, which included researchers, local naturalists, and biologists, was looking for the Sinu Parakeet, one of the species on Global Wildlife Conservation's top 25 most wanted lost species list. The parakeet hasn't had a confirmed sighting since 1949.
