Hi Everyone,
For those of you who are interested in bird taxonomy, the AOU 57th Suppleme=
nt has been released. A comprehensive summary of the changes can be found h=
ere:
http://blog.aba.org/2016/07/2016-aou-supplement.html
There are no 'new' species or new common names that should impact Nova Scot=
ia bird lists. The western scrub-jay is now split into California and Woodh=
ouse's and two new species found off the western coast of Baja California h=
ave been split off of Leach's Storm-Petrel.
There have been a number of scientific name changes with a new genus (Arden=
na) for a number of shearwater species, including sooty and great, and a ne=
w genus (Antigone) for Sandhill Crane. There are also a number of changes a=
t the subfamily level among the shorebirds.
The change that may be noted the most is a reordering of families. Your nex=
t field guide may be rearranged to show the following order between the gro=
use family and the trogons:
1. flamingos
2. grebes
3. pigeons
4. cuckoos
5. goatsuckers and nighthawks
6. swifts and hummingbirds
7. cranes and rails
8. shorebirds, gulls, terns, auks
9. tropicbirds
10. loons
11. tubenoses
12. storks
13. gannets and boobies
14. pelicans, herons, ibises
15. New World vultures
16. hawks
17. owls
All the best,
Lance
