The Pink-headed Duck, Rhodonessa caryophyllacea, lived in wetlands of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Nepal. It was always considered uncommon or rare and was last definitely seen in the wild in 1949, surviving until around the same time in captivity. More about this species: http://eol.org/pages/1048524/details This skin is of a captive bird secured by Sir David Ezra supposedly from near Dhurbi, Assam/Bengal Border in the early 1930's.

The last undisputed sighting of a Bachman's Wood Warbler, Vermivora bachmanii, was near Charleston, South Carolina, USA in 1962. It is not known what caused the apparent extinction of this bird, but the draining of swamps and the large-scale replacement of bottomland forests and canebrake ecosystems with agriculture were most likely major factors.
