-- Another Endangered Species --

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting news on yet another endangered (and once-believed-extinct) avian species, the Sumatran Ground Cuckoo, here. Are these news reports almost becoming routine? In this instance they have recorded the bird's call for the first time ever (...assuming of course that it wasn't in actuality a Blue Jay ; - ) --- actually I suspect this 'shriek' upon human capture may not really be the bird's typical call.

...and for some more sheer avian entertainment/wonderment, while we tread water in IBWO-land, check out Mike McDowell's link in his post of today:
