K/T birds



I just read the Natural History article about the Gondwanan origin of modern
birds (VERY interesting, and I'd like to hear the List's opinions about the
article).  My question is this, what bird types were there in Laurasia that got
killed by Chixulab?  In other words, what kinds of birds were still around at
the end of the Cretaceous in Asiamerica?  I can think of _Avisaurus_, the
hespernornithids, and the ichthyornithids, but that's it.  Were the
confusiusornids still around?

Thanks
