	Buttonquail
		The buttonquails or Hemipodes are a small family of birds which resemble, but are unrelated to, the true quails.
		The buttonquails are traditionally placed in the crane or pheasant orders, but the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy elevates them to a new order Turniciformes.
		These are small drab running birds, which avoid flying.

		The buttonquails or hemipodes are a small family of birds (15 species) which closely resemble true quails, but are unrelated to them.
		Buttonquail, traditionally placed in Gruiformes, are distant relatives of rails and crakes.
		They only have 3 toes and are lacking a hind toe (hence the name hemipode which means "half a foot." The females are larger, brighter, more colorful of the two sexes, and initiate courtship.

	INFLUENCE OF THE TRAILING-EDGE NOTCH ON FLIGHT PERFORMANCE OF GALLIFORMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Thus, the majority of the energy Hazel Grouse spend in foraging flights is invested in vertical move- ments and in the frequent takeoffs and landings required to move from branch to branch.
		The comparative analysis within the order supports the results of exper- iments and suggests that wing geometry and size of the notch result from of a compromise between what is optimal for level flight and what is optimal for frequent takeoff and vertical flight.
		Grouse that spend much time in level flight have small trailing-edge notches, where- as those whose flight is characterized by fre- quent takeoffs and landings, and by vertical movement, have deep trailing-edge notches.

	WORLDTWITCH Thailand - A Bright-Green, Poisoned Landscape, by Philip Round
		It was therefore with a sense of high expectation that Andy Pierce and I, together with Stephen Rumsey and John Willsher of The Wetland Trust, made a tour of Sukhothai Province wetlands during mid-December.
		There, the paddies are still planted with a traditional variety of glutinous rice, and at the time of my visit in January were classic dry stubbles, with wet patches, and some burnt areas, on which a few water buffaloes grazed.
		A Yellow-legged Buttonquail was flushed; there were 10 Grey-headed Lapwings on a wet patch, along with Common and Pintail Snipes.

		Arrived in Krachee in time for lunch in small restaurant, and checked into hotel opposite boat jetty (Hotel Mittapeup A/C room $15/night) Afternoon trip to 'Dolphin pool' by motorbike, driven by 'local guide' attached to hotel departing at 1545.
		A half-hour drive to Kampi then a small boat hired for $5 to go out to the dolphin pool and the small islands in the channel where the Mekong Wagtail is to be found.
		The place is easy to find, its the only functioning building up there, surrounded by derelict villas, right by a small lake near the roadhead.
