Rare Smiling Bird Photographed for the First Time
The rare recurve-billed bushbird, recently rediscovered by scientists in Colombia after a 40-year absence, sports a curving beak that gives the illusion of a "Mona Lisa" smile.
Re-curve-billed bushbird
No one had seen this bird between 1965-2004 and it was presumed to be extinct. This is the first photograph ever taken of a live Recurve-billed bushbird. Photo courtesy of National Geographic.

Wow! That is really amazing! You find the most interesting things to post about!
I love this picture and plan to add a drawing of it to our nature notebook w/ a quick note about how it was thought to be extinct!
