Going official with the release of something we've been cooking up for the last 3.5 years--a complete phylogeny of the world's birds! We = Emily Jane McTavish, Avibase (Denis Lepage), and other great collaborators from Open Tree of Life and Cornell Lab. Why is this such a big deal? A few reasons.

Colombia has the large bird count but the number of country endemics is rather modest: 87 (out of 1970) Only two bird genera are Colombian endemics: - Anthocephala: the blossomcrowns (two hummingbird species) - your majesty Hypopyrrhus: 1 genus, 1 species, a spectacular beast❤️
