The beauty of this forum is that even though our class is over we will always be apart of this community. My other classes have finished and sadly my discussions in these classes have also finished. But, we are incredibably lucky to have the opportunity to share thoughts about evolution as they come to us in the months ahead. We get to share our thoughts with one another even though we may not be in the same class any more. Evolution is an ongoing process and it seems fitting that we have a place to post our thoughts as new ideas come to us. Going off this idea that evolution is an ongoing process that is always changing I thought I might mention that a new species of hummingbird was just discovered.  I was reading an article this morning about the gorgeted puffleg which is a rare new hummingbird which has been  spotted in the forests of southwestern Colombia. Did you know that the South American country has the world's largest variety of birds, with more than 1,800 species? I love knowing that even if I tried I will never get to fully know all of the species that inhabit the world… evolution moves that fast! Keep your eyes on the look out for the arrival of new species…
