This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. In what has become the modern-day traditional method of organization, species are listed and described on the left-hand page and illustrative plates are on the right. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. .

It was very touching to read a comment from Mayr to a more non-scientific article by Liebers & Helbig in a German birdwatching magazine about the Herring Gull not being a ring species, where Mayr applauded them and was happy not only over but beyond the moon about the research.
