But just two days before the researchers were scheduled to leave the island, a camera trap captured footage of the exceptionally rare bird. They placed a total of 12 camera traps on the slopes of Mt. Kilkerran, which is the island's highest mountain. And they placed another eight cameras in locations where local hunters reported seeing the bird in the past.
So the expedition team placed a camera on a 3,200-foot high ridge near the Kwama River above Duda Ununa, according to the release. And finally, just as their trip was ending, they captured footage of the bird walking on the forest floor.
real SCIENCE proving the GLOBAL WARMIN THEORY . . . just another DUM'o'CRAT, TAX'n'SPEND FARCE . . funny how it happens over, and OVER AGAIN ! !
