‘Twas a dark and stormy night. Swarms of dead leaves scuttled across cold concrete and a woman’s faraway cackle echoed in the moonlight. Eerie green smoke swirled into tall columns. The earth rumbled. The ground cracked. And out from this madness: HELICON ASCENDED!!

In light of the our favorite holiday, we are sharing some photos of Helicon members’ Halloween costumes!

The scientists wondered if the birds — known as the plain-backed thrush — were actually two different species. If this were the case, it would be an exciting discovery because only three new species of birds had been found in India since 1949.
