Waterbirds and Waders

I know - The groupings used here are not the correct taxonomic arrangement.

Bird lists are usually sorted so that related birds in the same family are together. But for me that’s sometimes a bit counter-intuitive - Brown and Stubble Quail are together, but the Buttonquail are in with the Shorebirds! So the bird collections are an attempt at more straight-forward groupings.

Don’t worry! For the true family attribution you can refer to Raakajilm bird list: Download the excel checklist here

Or for real bird nerds - a full taxonomic bird list is available via iNaturalist and the Raakajlim project
