In a remarkable breakthrough, scientists have finally captured photographic evidence of a bird species in Africa that had eluded sight for almost two decades.<\/p>\n

The elusive bird, known as the Yellow-crested Helmetshrike, had been designated as a \u2018lost bird\u2019 by the American Bird Conservancy<\/a> due to its prolonged absence from observation. This significant discovery was made by a team of researchers from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)<\/a> during a six-week expedition to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.<\/p>\n

Ornithologist and UTEP assistant professor, Michael Harvey, Ph.D., said, \u201cIt was a mind-blowing experience to come across these birds. We knew they might be possible here, but I was not prepared for how spectacular and unique they would appear in life.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
