Robin --

Aha! I was using the "Traditonal List" on my Thayer's software, and the Yellow Flycatcher-Warbler (Chloropeta natalensis) is listed there as African Yellow Warbler. Cross-checking with Sibley's, I found it, and obviously that solves the difficulty. Thanks -- I'll be more diligent to cross reference next time!

Grace and peace -- Ken

Thanks Ken. What I really want to know is whether my list is the same as birdman's!

Ken,

17 out of 20 plus one spare! Keep your eyes peeled... I can feel some anagrams coming on! (At least with those, I know what I'm dealing with!)

Robin,

16 out of 20... but... and I KNEW this would happen... you've got 20 valid species, so moral victory to you.

(Well I said it was the first time I'd tried something like this. I'll have to be more careful next time)

Here's where you outdid me...

Great Snipe - Swinhoe's Snipe
Swinhoe's Storm-Petrel - Wilson's Storm-Petrel
Wilson's Warbler - Swainson's Warbler
Swainson's Thrush - Great Thrush

(I'll tighten things up for next time!)

I enjoyed the challenge - it was better than working!.

I don't know how you would avoid the multiple answers without a lot of work - Swainson et al have a lot to answer for.

Swainson et al have a lot to answer for.

Your'e a devious B.
