Life List: War Torn Warbler

This undated photo released by the Wildlife Conservation Society ...(AP Photo/Wildlife Conservation Society)Reuters has a story on the large-billed reed warbler dubbed ”World’s least known bird” and it has been found breeding in Afghanistan.  Cool to hear stories like this were rare animals turn up in remote corners of the globe.  Apparently this is the largest ever find of these birds and so they are gathering a flood of new data on the species.  Thankfully these birds have chosen one of the quieter regions of Afghanistan to breed so hopefully they can survive the madness of wartime.  Sounds like an adventurous and possibly deadly trip to add to your life-list.  Are you an avid enough birder to make the trek during wartime?  Know any bird lovers serving in Afghanistan that might like to check it out?
