It seems that the American Ornithological Association acting on advice from Cornell have recently lumped the following - American Herring Gull with Herring Gull Green-winged Teal with Teal Siberian Stonechat with Stonechat I believe that the BOU has also followed this line. Does anybody know for sure? |

The AOU have always lumped the Herring Gulls (they were reviewed and the proposal to split smiths didn't pass: http://www.aou.org/committees/nacc/prop ... 3#2007-B-1), the teals are not split by AOU NACC/SACC, but Anas carolinensis is still recognised by e.g. IOC, AERC & BOURC. Likewise they don't split Saxicola maurus, which is recognised by e.g. Clements. |
