The Guam Kingfishers at the Albuquerque Biological Park (continued).

We were thrilled to learn this fabulous news today - the Albuquerque Biological Park has been successful in hatching Guam Kingfishers in their cork nest logs! This is great news for this highly endangered species. If you have been following this blog, you have seen our previous post. If not, take a look at it for details on the species and the importance of their nests including the material (cork) used to construct their nesting log: Harvested cork also helps preserve endangered species.

Thanks again to Peter Shannon, Curator of Birds at the Albuquerque Biological Park in New Mexico for sharing this news with us.
