🐦 It's been a while (in several aspects), so I'm extra excited to start the day with a #paper accept. Can't wait for this to hit the press, clarifying relationships among a bunch of cool #birds and introducing a new #avian family! Which one? You'll soon see... πŸ˜‰ #taxonomy #systematics πŸͺΆπŸ§ͺ

Tease no longer, Alan! bsky.app/profile/ster... I hope that you with your inclinations don't get too disappointed that it is a new family that is no longer around.

Welcome a new family of #birds, the Caribbean cave rails, Nesotrochidae! They wereβ€”surprisinglyβ€”the sisters of NZ adzebills, all sadly extinct.
