Hello Australia.
I cracked this idea for a birders bucket list. I decided to write a
book. 1000 birds to see before you die.

Do you want to help and suggest content?
Check the link above. It is a fun excersize. If you don't want to list
100 birds for me...pls just send a list of your top 10-100 birds to
the list. Number 1 gets 100 points, nr 2 gets 99 and so forth.
Right now people participating have a very American (North and South
American) biase, so it would be good to have some Australian perspective
as well.
They can be both birds you have seen and birds you want to see. Simply
the best birds of your lifetime. They can be rare and remote, but they
must be regularily seen at their site. Ivory-billed Woodpecker and
Slender-billed Curlew will not make the list I am afraid, but Tuamotu
Sandpiper and Scarlet-banded Barbet may if they get voted for.
(What would be equivilant birds to disqualify from start in your region?)
The book will be free for all to download - and I will think of some
scheme/campaign in which money can be donated to Birdlife
International for the conservation of the threatened birds.
