36, if my counting is right and there has been no very recent split or lump. Not bad given that the 5 families in the inner circle of the laughingthrush family have a combined number of about 68 species. This post shows some of them. Paul, I think we are soulmates.

African Spoonbills seem unfazed by large reptiles. For some reason, the largest member of the heron family is not called the Great Heron nor the Giant Heron but rather the Goliath Heron.

The White-cheeked Partridge is classified as Near Threatened.

To be fair, I could and should have also grabbed The Shorebird Guide for the Greenshank and Collin’s Bird Guide, 2nd edition for both birds, but the Nat Geo was right there next to me, where your favorite field guides should be.). Most of the species are described in the Species Accounts, arranged taxonomically into 86 family chapters.
