Guyana is probably most famous in birding circles for the unlikely discovery of a population of critically endangered Red Siskins in early 2000. In the year 2000, the world held their breath as ornithologists from the Smithsonian and the University of Kansas led an expedition into the southern Rupununi region.

Hundreds of Pink-footed Geese were landing in that field, possibly to roost for the night, a mere 50 meters from us, with heads as dark as the Bean Geese , but close enough to see their meat-pink feet.
