The New York Times had an interesting story yesterday about the wealth of
bird diversity in Columbia: <http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/08/
international/americas/08COLO.html>.

> Indeed, even as Colombia suffers through a worsening civil conflict,
>ornithologists are busier than ever studying birds and tracking
>threatened species in a country considered the world's most diverse for
>bird life.
>
> Colombia may be better known for its abundance of guerrillas
>than of birds these days, but it holds more bird species than any other --
>1,865. Seventy of those are found nowhere else but here.
