* many thanks to a colleague of mine, R. Moyle, for pointing out that this bird is a model used for video comparison purposes and is not the real thing. Incidentally, all the news services have this WRONG, and list this as a photo of the live bird.

This is such great news. The best news we've had in a long time. Just wonderful.
We just posted on our blog about this, but instead of repeating all of the comprehensive information you have, we just linked to you!
The video is great-- exactly the way you'd expect to see this exciting discovery-- fleeting and thrilling.
Thanks so much for linking to my blog, Rexroth's Daughter!
