That larger clade is in turn sister to a clade containing the four remaining totipalmate bird families, which do still seem to be related, and which needed a new order name once pelicans were removed. But meanwhile, let’s look at the four avian families that comprise the brand new order Suliformes.

I got the bird.
Of course not! Of course, that was the easiest of the three because though the bird in the image is captive, a bird that was injured and can’t be returned to the wild, Bald Eagles do occur regularly and naturally in Queens. Thanks for visiting!
Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family. It turns out that humans without compasses make no use of magnetic fields.) A fascinating exception to this, of course, are penguins.

Of course, when hamburgers aren't at stake, most of us think that it would be morally wrong to kill an animal for no good reason. Compassion like that almost makes one think that we should start shooting the 1 billion humans on the brink of starvation to provide them quick and relatively painless deaths rather than slow protracted ones.]
