'Extinct' quail sighted in India (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

A quail believed to have been extinct for nearly 80 years has been seen by a prominent ornithologist in the north-eastern Indian state of Assam.

The Manipur Bush-Quail was seen earlier this month by Anwaruddin Choudhury, a wildlife specialist.

Bird experts say that Mr Choudhury is highly respected and that they believe he saw the quail even though he was unable to photograph it.

Experts say the sighting is one of the most exciting in India in recent years.

1. If they were in Texas, they'd DEFINITELY be extinct.

2. Mmmmmm... they look delicious!

Kidding, of course. Hope this turns out to be correct, though without any evidence, no reason to suspect these haven't gone the way of the dodo.

4. "Bush-Quail" ?

I would say the 1988-92 Republican ticket is DEFINITELY extinct.
