This is for my friend Artie, a bird nerd who goes to Herculean lengths to document his sightings on the few field trips he undertakes (for R&R) each year. For example, last Fall he spent his “alone time” on a boat trip way off the coast to confirm the presence of a South Pacific seabird that had never been photographed off North America (and yes, he found one). The video I present to him shows Jack Dumbacher, a researcher at the California Academy of Sciences, talking about his recent brush in Papua New Guinea with the Hooded Pitohui. It is the first ever poisonous bird to be discovered by science.
