Birders, Have been seeing these links on other bird lines for several days and thought TN-Birders might "want to know" although this is a little off-topic for our state. These first two links go to publications in India announcing a new bird species which has been found and photographed. The first link is an article on the new species only. _http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/12/stories/2006091202072200.htm_ (http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/12/stories/2006091202072200.htm) The second link goes to an article with photos of the bird AND its closest relative, an Asian species. >> _http://www.birdlife.org/news/news/2006/09/bugun_liocichla.html_ (http://www.birdlife.org/news/news/2006/09/bugun_liocichla.html) This third link goes to a BBC article which a friend here in Nashville who is aware of my interest in birds sent when it came in. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5337194.stm_ (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5337194.stm) Both birds are incredibly beautiful. Please enjoy, and please forgive my little "detour" off the TN-Bird trail.
