It was a truly monumental moment for Chris Filardi, director of Pacific Programs at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He was finally holding the elusive Guadalcanal moustached kingfisher! He said it was like finding a unicorn.
Image, he had been searching for the rare and mysterious orange, white, and brilliant-blue bird for more than 20 years. Then, on a field study in the high forests of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, he finally heard the “ko-ko-ko-ko-kiew” sound of what he described as the unmistakable call of a large kingfisher.

It it’s so rare isn’t it under the protected spices act? If so then this douch bag should be jailed and fined!
What a horror!!! Why did he kill a rare beautiful bird. Stupid and cruel. Plain stupid!!!
Typical… “I found a Unicorn! MUST KILL FOR SCIENCE…”
Terrible
Liberal rationale: climate change made the killing necessary…
WTF !
Did that knucklehead ever think that this may be the very last one of it’s kind before he killed it? I doubt it.
OH THAT”S NICE.
Who ever said all scientists are geniuses? ??
These are the same scientists that claim climate change is a real thing
