DH pointed out that article last night. Amazing it could "hide" for so long, isn't it? Kinda adds hope about the Pileated Woodpecker too! Woohoo!

Great news but I was confused by the headline which referenced United Kingdom ..... it appears as though the other one was located in India.

The UK refers to one found in a museum drawer, mis-labelled as a Blyth's Reed Warbler . . . a specimen that had been shot in India about 150 years ago. Agreed it isn't as clearly stated as it could have been!
