Thanks, that was a fun quiz! I missed ten--eight of which are on my life list!

The list needs quite a few additions to approach comprehensiveness. Here are the ones I can dig up.

--Smew (one of my two biggest jinx birds!)

--Ruby (as in Brazilian Ruby)

--Piha

--Omao

--Myza (as in Dark-eared Myza and White-eared Myza)

--Huia (NZ bird that went extinct in early 20th century)

--Dodo (long gone, but perhaps everybody's best-known extinct bird)
