Highly recommended! I just finished a cover-to-cover read, and it's a great addition to the avian sensory ecology literature with excellent discussions of the links between brain & behavior. I prefer reading paper books (better retention) but the whole thing is freely downloadable! bit.ly/482xPZm 🦉🧠

The mysterious Jerdon's Courser has been rediscovered outside its known range for the first time in more than a century:
Birders record Jerdon's Courser 16 years after last sighting
The Critically Endangered Jerdon's Courser has been rediscovered in Andhra Pradesh, India, outside its known range for the first time in 125 years. Thought to survive only in a tiny patch of the Lankamalla hills, the elusive bird was detected through acoustic recordings by a team of birders in August 2025. The find provides fresh hope for the species, ranked among the world’s top ten 'lost birds', and highlights the urgent need to safeguard India's remaining scrubland habitats.
