Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Horned? Check. Screamer? Definitely. The horned screamer is named for both the thin keratin 'horn' that grows from the top of its head and its loud, whooping call which can be heard over 3 km (1.8 mi) away!

January Endangered birds 7 (#66) - the Brazilian Merganser (CR)
Habitat loss of wetlands/rivers have been a big problem for these birds. In 1992, their numbers were estimated at less than 250! Three decades later, estimates are still at less than 250 adults - however, a decline is expected to have occurred, which might just mean the 1992 estimate was too low at the time.

Heavy birds native to Eurasia, they are monogamous and form strong pair-bonds. They are not actually mute - they make a variety of hisses, whistles, grunts, snorts, and chirps, as well as a rhythmic courtship song.
