My problem is solved. When I brought up an older image thekeywords that were on my panel at the time were shown. I did not realize that they had simply been added to the bottom of my current keyword list. As a result the top portion of the panel is current, the bottom portion is the keyword list that was in place when the photo was taken and processed. If you check the panel below you will see the bottom portion of my current "avian" category (yardbirds lemont) ending just above "alligator" which is the beginning of my keyword list from 2004 when it was much different and less expansive than now. I don't know if these can be merged or not, i.e., I don't know if the gulls, for example, that I keyworded then are included in my current list or not but I will check it out later.
