As often, not sure where to post, we don't have a dinosaur section.....it's not bird news or conservation?

There's a special section just for this sort of thing: Bird Paleontology, in the Bird Taxonomy and Nomenclature section :t:

They say however that it's not a bird but a dinosaur, a sparrow sized dinosaur!

Another vote for Bird Paleontology with its heavy concentration of contributors interested in such matters from a sclentific perspective. Otherwise, Birds & Birding, for the general interest.

Yep, certainly very interesting! Maybe some time in the future they'll get DNA out of those feathers and bring it back to life . . . (yeah, still very sci-fi at the moment!)
