Last year on a birding trip, I met a birder who was almost as excited about adding a new genus to his list as he was about seeing a life bird. His dedication and excitement about seeing a new genus made me curious about how many genera I have seen. It took a while, but I made a list of all the genera I have seen. Although I am not by any means a serious genus lister, it is now one of the many lists I keep.
I just returned from Texas where I added two new genera to my list. I’m now at 999. The IOC’s homepage indicates that their master list contains 2,353 genera. Therefore, I have seen 42% of the world’s genera .
How about you? How many genera have you seen?
