Adam's Life List

This life list will be in taxonomic order. I did it this way to force myself to become more familiar with the taxonomic order. That may make it harder to find a given species, if you aren't a birder, but then again, if you aren't a birder, why do you care?! Besides, I doubt that anyone besides me ever visits this page!

Okay, here we go...attempting life list...
