Hello,

Yesterday's Herald had a photo with a caption but no further details 
regarding the discovery of a new bird species in the Andean cloud forest 
near Bogota, Columbia.  Apparently, two birds were captured and one was 
released unharmed.  HMMM....
It's a lovely little thing that can be seen at the following web site.

I scanned the on-line edition of the Herald but could find no further 
details.  However a Google search revealled several articles including the 
one above.  Nevertheless, I am reluctant to begin planning a birding foray 
to the jungles of Columbia....

Cheers,
