This article about finding a bird presumed to be extinct for 140yrs is a good example of the local people knowing the bird was there all along, and guiding researchers with cameras to spots where they could find them.

BTW the youtube video on that page of the team in utter jubilation upon seeing the photos in their cameras never fails to make me smile.
