Sometimes I just hit the "Surprise Me" button on the species pages of eBird to get a random bird. I might find all the funny names of cisticolas (bubbling, chattering, chirping, churring, croaking, etc. all the way to zitting) or species like the Inaccessible Island Finch or the Inaccessible Island Rail which leads one to wonder how anyone ever found them if they're so inaccessible.
Perplexing Scrubwren was a recent favorite of mine but the two best, so far, have to be:
Mysterious Starling
Conservation status: Extinct
Invisible Rail
Number of sightings: 0
