Here are three more that I took on a recent trip to Pemba Island in the Zanzibar Archipelago off Tanzania. Unfortunately, my attempts to get shots of the Pemba Scops Owl were unsuccessful.

I'll add my congratulations to everyone.

But, if we start a new push, please start a new thread.

This one has gotten too long!

Just had a word with the Senior Curator at the University of Sydney's Macleay Museum and they're happy for me to take photos of any of the extinct Australian species they have in their museum as long as we credit the university on the page for each photo and that they can have a copy of the photo for their catalogue. They've got over 9000 birds in there, so there's a fair chance of being able to get a picture of the lot.
That sound ok? I can also do some artwork for those species.
Cheers

Great news Tony. It will certainly help fill more of the gaps. Giving credit to the source/location isn't an issue as we already do that with museum specimens.

I'll ask if they've got any of the other Pacific birds in there as well - if they have, then that's a few more off the list. They're happy because they get photos of things they haven't time to take themselves and also because I can help them out with a display on chemistry.
