	Sungrebe/Finfoot family
		In writing about this family, Bertrand (1996) says that "rather few bird families are as poorly known and as infrequently observed as the Heliornithidae." In my brief experience the birds were very shy and seen for only a brief time.
		There is no "family book" per se of which I'm aware, but an good introduction to the family (with photos of all species in the wild) is in Bertrand (1996).

	[No title]
		This result was codified in the classification of Sibley and Monroe (1990) by including the Limpkin as a tribe within the finfoot family Heliornithidae, and since has become widely cited in popular literature (e.g., Bertram 1996, Bryan 1996).
		While the sampling of rails might be considered meager for a taxon containing over 130 species, the monophyly of Rallidae does not appear to be in question, and the genera sampled are intended to survey a broad cross-section of rallid diversity.
		The Limpkin should not be classified as a tribe in the family Heliornithidae (Sibley and Monroe 1990, and followed by the A.O.U Check-list, 7th edition) and we agree with Livezey (1998) in retaining it in its own family nearest the cranes as per most traditional classifications.

		Since the monophyly or polyphyly (realtedness or unrelatedness) of this "order" is not agreed upon by the professional community, it seems best to allow the advocates of the respective hypotheses to elaborate their own narratives to stand side by side for the consideration and comparison of the public community at large.
		Gruiformes is a diverse order constituting a morphologically disparate though genetically homogenous (relatively speaking) assemblage of paludicoline, aquatic and terrestrial birds, including the families Eurypgidae (subitterns), Otididae (bustards), Gruidae (cranes), the monotypic Aramidae (the limpkin), Heliornithidae (sun-grebes), Psophiidae (trumpeters), Cariamidae (seriemas), Rhynochetidae (the kagu), Rallidae (rails and allies), and the enigmatic Mesitornithidae (mesites, monias, roatelos).
		Defining the gruiform assemblage has historically been difficult, and classifications of these birds have altered widely.

	Gruiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, anatomical evidence indicates that several groups within the traditional Gruiformes do appear to be evolutionarily related.
		The Rallidae and the Heliornithidae are associated as the Ralli (although the Rallidae are sometimes separated as order Ralliformes).
		Aramidae, Gruidae and the Psophiidae form the Grui.
