    From my trip to Bronx yesterday:
    22) Mikado Pheasant Syrmaticus mikado
    23) Satyr Tragopan Tragopan satyra
    24) Maleo Macrocephalon maleo
    25) Malayan Great Argus Argusianus argus argus
    26) Green Junglefowl Gallus varius
    27) Blue-Billed Curassow Crax alberti
    28) Western Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus
    29) Kenyan Crested Guineafowl Guttera pucherani pucherani

    Unfortunately, I fear this may be my last zoo trip of the year so probably won't get any more species for the challenge which is a shame as I was aiming for at least 30 species! I'd have had it, too, if Bronx hadn't decided to take their Blue Eared-Pheasants and Chinese Bamboo Partridges off-show! Ah well, 29 is a good total.
