It does seem very pointless.

Perhaps we have a misunderstanding here on the purpose of this forum.

he's been here a year, I think he gets the forum. I think it's probably more a case of him being bored.

There's several more like it.

Personally, I might start a poll thread asking which is better the Northern Beardless Tyrannulet or the Rose-Throated Becard.

I cannot believe you ranked the Dama gazelle ahead of the Mountain gazelle. What were you thinking? Also, why no love for Mongalla gazelles?

I can't believe you've missed the opportunity for a well placed apostrophe. Thomson's can't be no 1 because I've heard of them so they are obviously really common.

Yes it does seem obvious looking at them. (Although I hadn't even heard of either of these until now, thanks google images).

The only mistake in the list I can see is that Dorca's gazelle is incorrectly spelt.

What, no love for Procapra gazelles? What about all the Groves and Grubb species?

I am tempted to think that that was deliberate on Ituri's part -- i.e. a poll to decide which of the two is better would be as pointless as, erm, this thread, because the becard obviously is. But then I remembered that us birders are a funny lot, so he may for some reason think the northern beardless tyrannulet is better. He is of course entitled to that opinion, even if it is wrong
