From the Laotian Forest, a New Bald Bird: Meet the Barefaced Bulbul

Just when it seemed that there were no more mysteries left in the wild parts of the planet, scientists have turned up a new species of bird--an odd-looking creature that has been named the Barefaced Bulbul because of its mostly bald head. The never-before seen songbird was spotted in a remote forest in Laos, and the find provides a cheerful contrast to the steady drumbeat of endangered species news.
