Hi Bob!
Thanks for posting that URL. I initially got a little bit excited as I'm
always on the lookout for good international checklists. However, despite
the author's claim that many are almost full lists, I found most to be quite
a long way from complete. Of course my interests are always a bit obscure,
but Uzbekistan for example (where I went birding in 2000) has a country list
of about 400 spp, but this web site has a list of about 90 common spp. I
found the same for the other Central Asian states, Russia, etc. The
Indonesian list looks like it might be reasonable comprehensive, and I'd
guess some of the USA state lists would be too. The alphabetical format is
really annoying!
So it's useful, but so far from complete as to be a bit frustrating!
Cheers -- Lawrie
