Thanks Tony - I had totally glossed over that the Clements update did not in fact incorporate the new higher order taxonomy of AOU-NA, at least for the time being. This plays some havoc with my own personal listing system, where my database needs to follow a global system like Clements but is still focused largely on the AOU-NA area where I spend most of my birding life. Oh well, what you gonna do.
