This bird was last collected in 1913 and locally reported to have become extinct by the 1940s. It is now considered extinct, because extensive surveys in the mid-80s failed to find any evidence of the Canarian Black Oystercatcher's survival, despite four convincing reports (two from Tenerife and two from Senegal) between 1968 and 1981. Over-harvesting of intertidal invertebrates and disturbance by people was probably the cause of its decline, although predation by rats and cats has also been implicated. 1913 (MCMXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ...
