Those species are separate species (some are cousins or other close relatives).
Of course they are separate species. Do you think that they are supposed to be the same species? So you want examples of animals becoming different species, but yet complain that we find separate species?

But look at the numbers. Common sense shows that the number of transitional phases in a species evolution outnumbers the beginning and end results a billion to 1.
I hardly think it is a billion to 1. For you to know this you would already have to know the number of species in a lineage. This is not known. Secondly, why do you think that every species that ever lived has to have been fossilized. You do realize that no one has ever found a fossilized passenger pigeon. This species went extinct 100 years ago, so without their being observed by humans their existance may have never been known. So, fossilization of a species is not a guarantee. Secondly, we have not looked at every single sediment layer that exists. We have probably looked at about 0.0000000001% of the available fossils that are preserved in the earth, and this is a pretty generous estimate. Thirdly, land is destroyed through subduction, these fossils are sent to their demise in the hot magma of the inner earth. There are only a few places on earth that contain rock that has not been touched since the formation of the earth. Through all of this, you want examples of every single species that has ever lived. I guess you will have to be disappointed.
I guess the question becomes how many fossils do you require before you will believe in macroevolution, a process that we even observe today? Could you give us a rough estimate?
