Well, if we start this list, perhaps we should recognize the grammatical
difference between "eaten birds" and "birds eaten". Why? Because on a trip
in Africa one of the birders having done considerable field ornithological
work had kept a Life List of "Birds Eaten" in the course of his work!

Also, it seems that Rare Bird Alert warbler in British Columbia met the same
fate.
