The Galápagos rail, a small, black, ground bird, hadn’t been seen on Floreana Island in the Galápagos since 1835, when Charles Darwin first described it. That changed recently when researchers monitoring birds on Floreana recorded the rail at three different locations. These new sightings after 190 years are likely the result of efforts to eradicate invasive species on the island.

Great look at #JackieAndShadow’s 3 #eaglets.
They so resemble funny little muppets / miniature Ostriches with Slinky toy necks.
Adorable.

[Last year at this time I posted hourly #BabySquirrel (click) updates. Thankfully–for them–none have need rescuing yet]
