The situation sounds something like the punchline from a current joke making the rounds, but no one is laughing at an incident from the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The rare Worcester's buttonquail was thought to be extinct until one was captured recently by a bird hunter and sold in a local poultry market. With photo and illustrations. Elsewhere, the explosion in new species findings continues, as evidenced in another report from the island of Luzon explained by Loren Coleman in New Rodent Discovered in Philippines. With images.
