[edit] Taxonomic list - annoying lack of geographic organisation
By the time I have waded through 65 sub-pages' worth of info about varieties which turn out to be from Costa Rica, SE Asia or other countries which I am unlikely ever to visit (nor the species ever turn up here, as an erratic), the darn thing will have flown away! Can we please introduce some cultural bias here and tabulate the list continent-by-continent (and treat western Europe as a 'continent', even if inappropriate to do so) so that the bulk of the readership (USA/UK) can get what they want in a speedy manner?

- The whole idea of a taxonomic list is that they're in taxonomic order! : ) To restrict the number of "true thrushes" you need to go through, I'd suggest you check List of birds of Great Britain or List of birds in Canada and the United States; these will show you the thrushes that have been found in those countries. (Check to see other available lists.)
- Understood - that's why I didn't want to meddle with the shape of the list in any way! Thanks for providing the links. Those are the kind of pages I should have been looking for but it didn't occur to me that they would exist (I just searched for the word "thrush"). It's a pity that links like those don't appear in the main article so casual observers (like me) can cut to the chase whilst real bird experts keep the taxonomic list.
