    Beach Thick-knee or Bush Stone-curlew

    Tannin, Points all well taken and it certainly was not my intent to stir up a "turf war". You are certainly right in the assertion that it is up to preposed country committees (when they exist, that is) to establish their own taxonomy and nomenclature. It is necessary in my view, however, to...

    Beach Thick-knee or Bush Stone-curlew

    Beach Thick-knee or Bush Stone-curlew

    Richard, Stuart, Actually, the Database is out-of-date for this one. It uses the Sibley-Monroe 1996. The current correct treatment for the Sibley-Monroe 2003 has for the two species sometimes treated in genus Esacus, i.e., Beach Thick-knee (E. neglectus), and Great Thick-knee (E...
