Honey, I am, by no means a "birder", but I am educating myself! He does look rather lovely though. It's not really all that surprising, so much of our world is relatively unexplored and the biodiversity unstudied to any great degree. A very lucky photographer!Oh. ..Got a goodie for you, Rachel... A New Britain Goshawk....Thought to be extinct for the last 50 years or so, because no one has knowingly seen one, but additionally, this photo is the first time it has ever been photographed. The Photog was wandering around Papua, NG, and saw motion...so took his shot just as the bird turned enough to show his field marks.View attachment 610717
