List of Kansas birds
This list follows the format as List of North American birds and List of Oklahoma birds, is well illustrated and complete, and is referenced. Self-nomination. Dsmdgold 18:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, great list. Colourful, nice lead, few red links! Phoenix2 23:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support the conspiracy to have 50 featured bird lists :) Renata 16:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You are on to us, but its much larger than that. (Just wait for List of birds that play cricket). Dsmdgold 20:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL :) Renata 23:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * What, you mean this one? (waits for slap) --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Support, of course. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, withdrawing that temporarily pending an explanation as to why the bananaquit is on the list - neither the article for that bird nor the reference source for the Kansas list suggests its presence in Kansas. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 15:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It was a mistake. It's gone now. My method of work, when constructing a state bird list, is to copy the contents of List of North American birds into an edit page and then substract out those species that are not found in the target state. I missed the Bananaquit at this step, probably because it is the only species in its family. In subsequent editing, I didn't realize that it shouldn't be there, and even wrote a family description for it, since there wasn't one in Oklahoma, the source of the family descriptions. Mea culpa. Great catch. Dsmdgold 16:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support duly restored. Good work. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Support. A fine piece of work. Durova 20:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Support - I hope some of those 50 bird lists will be for places outside the US? (Perhaps the cricket people should be encouraged to work on some other sports too...)  Pity the poor Scaled Quail, Lesser Prairie-Chicken, Common Poorwill, four flycatchers, Cassin's Kingbird and Vireo, Sprague's Pipit, Bachman's Sparrow, who remain redlinks amongst such a sea of blue... -- ALoan (Talk) 17:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
