New bird species found in Colombia

A British-led expedition found a new bird species located in the remote Yariguies Mountains in Colombia. The new type of bird- the Yariguies brush finch- can be distinguished via its colorful blend of yellow, black, and red plumage.

Several days before that, scientists unearthed an ancient one-of-a-kind burial ground in Peru.
