If the Puerto Rican/ Central Floricans 🇵🇷 vote helped her in this race, I’m going to be so happy.

R. S. Dharmakumarsinhji, an ornithologist, conducted a landmark study on the lesser floricans of Bhavnagar in 1943-49, ringing 489 birds. It's important because today, it's a rare bird in the region and the global population estimates are about 300-600.
