		The large yellow eyes are an adaptation to being crepuscular (active at dusk and dawn) and nocturnal (active at night).

	A NEW CRETACEOUS CHARADRIIFORM FAMILY
		The inclusion of Telmatornis within the Charadriiformes and near the Burhinidae suggests that the burhinids themselves, or at least their relatives, may be primitive within the order.
		SUMMARY The Cretaceous genus Telmatornis is removed from the Rallidae and placed in the Charadriiformes near the Burhinidae.
		The Aquitanian fossil Milnea gracilis is removed from the Burhinidae and is probably conspecific with Eudocimus paganus of the Threskiornithidae.

	Linear sequence of families in Charadriiformes
		(1) the Charadriiformes consists of three major groups: (1) the Scolopaci [Scolopacidae, Thinocoridae, Pedionomidae, Rostratulidae, and Jacanidae]; (2) the Charadrii [Charadriidae, Recurvirostridae, Haematopodidae, Burhinidae, and Chionidae]; and (3) the Lari [Laridae, Rynchopidae, Stercorariidae, Alcidae, and Glareolidae].
		(8) Chionidae and Burhinidae are more closely related to each other than to any other charadriiform family (except Pluvianellidae: see #9 below).
		Sibley and Ahlquist "almost" found that relationship -- they found: Chionidae + (Burhinidae + [other Scolopaci]).
