The Raptor Center is always excited about research with birds! An international team of researchers recently published 15
species of birds previously unknown to science, found in and around the Amazon.
Here’s the neat part - most of the new species were discovered by
detecting differences in their songs and calls in the field. Not since 1871 have so many new species of
birds been introduced under a single cover. (Note: Amazonia is home to far more
species of birds – approximately 1,300 – and more species per unit area, than
any other biome.)
