Description

The moral of the story is that trying to hand-draw a phylogeny of birds at the same time as doing a PhD is a poor decision. Insert disclaimer about how the phylogenetics of total-group birds is in a constant state of flux, and future studies will likely modify some of the relationships depicted here. Taxa that have been colored in are extant species. Nothing is to scale.

Edit: To answer a few questions I've gotten, here is a list of species pictured and a list of references I based this phylogeny on.
