Perhaps the biggest surprise of the expedition came when ornithologist Neville Kemp spotted a pair of new imperial pigeons (Ducula sp. nov.) with feathers that appear rusty, whitish and gray.

I read the article closely and at no point does it claim that this is a new SPECIES of bird, which is rare today coming from such a split-happy ornithological community.

It sounds like this could be a new race of imperial pigeon, or at least a clinal variation.

A great and exciting find!!!!!!

I was understood that it’s mandatory, somewhere in the FR posting rules I believe. ;-)

I figured the only way I'd be IBHTP was to post the article myself!

The gecko is also not partisan and mean-spirited...
