Talk:List of birds of Tamil Nadu

Family ordering
It would be good if the list can follow the canonical ordering followed in List of birds of India. In addition the following species could be included White-tailed Tropicbird - reference Sridhar, TR (1987) Tropic Bird in Madras. Newsletter for Birdwatchers. 27(1-2):10-12. http://www.archive.org/stream/NLBW27#page/n10/mode/1up and Balachandran, S (1991) Occurrence of White or Longtailed Tropic-bird Phaethon lepturus on the South-East coast of India. J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 88(3), 441-442. Shyamal (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Local names are nice, but this list should cover also the scientific names. Common names may vary, but the latin names won't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.251.119.3 (talk) 13:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * well, i didnt include them only because it was more work to do. I also thought, just linking to the correct article should suffice. but, I see no harm in adding scientific names. you are welcome to enter them. -- Car Tick  18:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
