As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Eight Fluffy Baby Birds Helicoptered to Hawaii




The birds, which have shag carpet-like plumage, are endangered Newell's shearwater chicks.

Eight fluffy baby football-sized birds were just helicoptered to a scenic Hawaiian wildlife refuge in a conservation effort that was years in the making. 

The birds, which have shag carpet-like plumage, are endangered Newell's shearwater chicks that scientists hope will become healthy reproducing adults and the founders of a new colony on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
