It makes more sense including them in this book, as they belong to a
family of birds referred to as "shorebirds" rather than having them
clumped with Button-quails as they were for so many years.

I just bought "Shorebirds of Australia", and was surprised to see that
it covers Plains-wanderer. I can understand their explanation that it's
closely related to other shorebirds, but if it doesn't look or act like
one, why include it?
I've never seen one, and only know what I've read about them. Does it
seem odd to include them?
