Bird Orders and Families -- How many have you seen?

___________________________
Closing up a couple of European gaps on my wild list. Still a handful left to go.

Captive list hasn't changed much. Waiting for Wuppertal's bird house to reopen and maybe another trip to Walsrode if I can find the time in the near future to remedy that.

 

I'll update mine, too:

This is something I had been meaning to do for a while anyway, and then I found this thread with a convenient list. Cheers @Great Argus I was pretty amazed to find I only have 7 orders to go for wild birds. Looks like I need to book a trip to Madagascar...

@Chlidonias We have the exact same loon story except mine was on Lake Champlain

I know my counts for wild birds are right, but as for captive I've probably seen more but never kept records

No hummers, swallows, or nuthatches?

 

I had thought I’d marked hummers and swallows, though apparently not .

Nuthatches among probably a few other families of passerines I’ve definitely seen, yet I don’t usually mark what I’ve seen in the wild so they definitely slipped my mind or failed to catch my attention as I was going through the wall of text, unfortunately. But along with nuthatches, chickadees/tits and I *think* wrens fall into this category as well, but other than those I’d say this list is pretty much correct for what I’ve seen .

 

Here's another update from me:

Wait, am I lost?

No, actually I have to admit, yesterday, for the first time, I got excited about birds...

@RatioTile showed me his orders/families list for birds (after I convinced him to make one for mammals) and my curiosity was peaked. How many orders had I seen? How many had I seen wild? As I started scanning the list, I recognized most of the bird types and remembered having luck with some of the odd ones. For the ones I didn't know/remember seeing I tried searching my own posts here and that got me a Mousebird from Ethiopia! Then I checked iNaturalist for hot spots for tinamous (sometimes an order), puffbirds (also sometimes an order), sandgrouse and seriemas. One by one I found my own photos of each of these (from Costa Rica, Panama, Kenya and Brazil respectively) almost like I was manifesting bird orders into my life list. When I was done I was at 38/41 orders seen wild, also with kiwi (sometime an order) in captivity.

Here's my final list from the 36 orders used in this thread:

Conveniently the two I'm missing are both found in Madagascar, a place I hope to visit very soon

I've now got my first bird targets!

 

come on GE you are already dominating in the mammal categories give other people a chance

 

At least I’m ahead of you here; only Seriemas needed wild, and I’ve seen them in captivity.

 

For now, @Tetzoo Quizzer...for now....

 

Cuckoo-Roller is widespread and conspicuous; Mesites are more restricted and harder; I saw the 2 species whose range I visited.

 

Make that 16 new families: Family Calcariidae (longspurs) (also on Helgoland)

• Struthioniformes - I have seen at least one representative from each family except for the tinamous.
• Galliformes - I have not seen any new world quails, but everything else is a score. I even have some Common Pheasants and Red-Legged Partridges that visit our garden.
• Aniseriformes - All three families are covered. We often get wild mallards visiting the garden, and I've seen plenty of wild Anatidae species besides them.
• Podicipediformes - I sometimes see wild Great Crested Grebes.
• Phoenicopteriformes - All six species of flamingo accounted for.
  
• Phaethontiformes - Pass.
  
• Eurypygiformes - Both species have been seen.
  
• Mesitornithiformes - Pass.
  
• Columbiformes - Several species, including some wild woodpigeons and collared doves.
  
• Pterocliformes - Pass.
  
• Caprimulgiformes - Only three species from three families - tawny frogmouths and amazilia hummingbirds in captivity and wild common swifts.
  
• Opisthocomiformes - I wish!
  
• Cuculiformes - I've seen four species, including wild common cuckoos. One was in our garden just a couple of years ago.
  
• Gruiformes - Cranes, yes. Rails, yes, plus some wild coots and moorhens. I may have seen a trumpeter, but I don't really remember.
  
• Otidiformes - Two species; Kori and Great.
  
• Musophagiformes - A couple of species.
  
• Gaviiformes - I think we do get a few wild ones in the UK, but I've never actually seen one myself.
  
• Sphenisciformes - Seven species last I counted.
  
• Procellariiformes - Pass.
  
• Ciconiiformes - A few, including wild white storks.
  
• Pelecaniformes - At least one member from each family except the Shoebill (it's a must-see for me, though). This includes wild grey herons and little egrets.
  
• Suliformes - Limited, but I do sometimes see wild cormorants on coastlines. Otherwise, I have seen captive northern gannets.
  
• Charadriiformes - I've seen oystercatchers, avocets, plovers, sandpipers and gulls (plenty of gulls) in the wild, plus thick-knees, jacanas and auks in captivity.
  
• Strigiformes - There's a small forest close to where I live, so we often see both families of owls flying around.
  
• Cathartiformes - Four species seen.
  
• Accipitriformes - Not the osprey, but everything else is covered. This includes wild red kites, Eurasian sparrowhawks and common buzzards.
  
• Coliiformes - One species.
  
• Leptosomiformes - Pass.
  
• Trogoniformes - Pass.
  
• Bucerotiformes - Not the woodhoopoe, but the others are covered.
  
• Coraciiformes - Only rollers, kingfishers and possibly bee-eaters. This includes wild common kingfishers.
  
• Piciformes - We only really have captive toucans in the UK, but we do have two or three species of wild woodpecker.
  
• Cariamiformes - The red-legged seriema.
  
• Falconiformes - Several species, including wild peregrine, common kestrel and hobby.
  
• Psittaciformes - Plenty! All three families covered, even if it's just the Kea for the NZ parrots.
  
• Passeriformes - .....can I just say that I have seen plenty of passerines and get back to you on specific families? I wouldn't know at a glance what goes where without looking back over. But rest assured, plenty of wild ones.
