hello everyone,

this week's edition of Birds in the News is now available for you to read and enjoy. Of course, I couldn't resist the charms of those sweet baby gyrfalcons in the ancient nest in Greenland, so they are the featured image accompanying BITN;

I also want to draw your attention to a beautiful mystery bird, a Sanderling, that also has a very informative diagnosis written by Paul Sweet, Collections Manager at AMNH (see comments);
