Bird Discoverer Taken Hostage by Separatists - Trevor Price

Bird watching is a low stress environment, but National Geographic grantee Trevor Price may have a difference of opinion. While he was studying birds in Northeast India in the early 1990's, the ornithologist was captured by a group of Kashmiri separatists until he escaped. He has since returned to the area to study the Bugun liocichla, a recently discovered species, which is the first "new" bird in over a half-century.
