After careful study of preserved specimens and observing individual birds in the wild, Dr. Bob Kennedy of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and Science has identified a new species of bird. Lina's (LEE-nuhz) sunbird is a brightly colored bird that lives in an isolated region on the Phillipine island of Mindanao (MIN-duh-now). Noah talks with Dr. Kennedy about his expeditions to the Phillipines, and the process of capturing and preparing specimens.
