"Least-known Bird" Has Been Found

Large-billed reed warbler, least-known bird Researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have found the breeding area of the elusive large-billed reed warbler. That's a big deal, because according to BirdLife International, the species is the world's "least-known bird."

The distinction may sound ominous, but it's also impressive considering the amount of time that has gone between warbler sightings. After the first specimen was discovered in India in 1867, it took well over a hundred years to find the second -- another single bird found in Thailand in 2006.

A humming bird moth landed on a stick Dash had




While in California waiting for the shuttle to Disneyland there was a humming bird moth had Daddy man pointed out to me. It then flew over to where Dash was by the water. He was playing with a stick and the moth landed on it. He called to us and was carrying it to show us. It flew off and we were all so overjoyed at the sight. He tried to gain it back , but nothing doing. At that point the moth was not so relaxed about it and flew off.
We all stood in a delightful wonder.
