 Magdalena Tinamou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magdalena Tinamou, (Crypturellus saltuarius), is a member of one of the most ancient bird families, the tinamous.
It is sometimes treated as a subspecies of the Red-legged Tinamou.
It may be extinct, since it has not been seen since the type specimen was collected in 1943, and the habitat in which it was found has been heavily modified for agriculture.

 The Tinamiformes (Tinamous)
Most species of Tinamous are surviving fairly well at present, though they are hunted for their meat which apparently tastes like strongly flavoured chicken.
Most tinamous have been recorded as being primarily herbivores though a high proportion of insects is recorded in the diet of members of the genus Norhtoprocta, especially the young.
Tinamous have been introduced to various countries, presumably because of their value as game animals, including the UK.

At present, nearly 160 bird species in the Tropical Andes are threatened, and at least one species, the Colombian grebe (Podiceps andinus), has gone extinct in the last century.
The yellow-eared parrot (Ognorhynchus icterotis, CR), reportedly common across Colombia and Ecuador at the turn of the 20th century, survives in two small populations in the Colombian Andes.
There are more than 600 reptile species identified in the Tropical Andes hotspot (more than 270 of which are endemic) and three endemic genera, a level of endemism unequaled in the world for this class.

For six [[Page 29356]] additional species, the best available information now indicates that they are also likely to be extinct, although they were considered to be extant at the time of the original petition and when we made our previous findings.
These include Kalinowski's tinamou (Nothoprocta kalinowskii), Beck's petrel (Pseudobulweria becki), the Utila chachalaca (Ortalis vetula deschauenseei), Stresemann's bristlefront (Merulaxis stresemanni), the Bananal tyrannulet (Serpophaga araguayae), and the long-legged thicketbird (Trichocichla rufa).

A Little Tinamou was calling from a nearby hillside, and we prevailed upon the leader to give it a try with a prerecorded tape that he had brought along.
Unbelievably, the Tinamou walked right up and paraded by us in a small gully, nervously stopping in full view to pick up a seed and eat it while we watched in rapt attention.

The lowland humid forests of Central Colombia’s Magdalena Valley, sandwiched between the eastern and central Andean ranges, contain a unique assemblage of endemic flora and fauna.
But like other places throughout the foothills of the Andes, when roads open up previously inaccessible areas, new species come under threat.
Steps to protect the humid forests of the Magdalena Valley could prevent the extinctions of as many as 24 globally threatened vertebrate species, and many more endemic subspecies.
