The MOU site has been updated with the 51st American Ornithologists' Union
update.
Taxonomic family order has been changed:
Storks and Frigatebirds are moved before Cormorants
Pelicans are moved after Cormorants
Whip-poor-will is changed to Eastern Whip-poor-will
Gnatcatchers are moved before Dippers
Snow Buntings and Longspurs are moved before Warblers
The AOU update provided several new families, only one that effects Minnesota.
"Snow Buntings and Longspurs", is after the Waxwings and before the Warblers.
It includes:
Lapland Longspur,
Chestnut-collared Longspur,
Smith's Longspur,
McCown's Longspur,
Snow Bunting.
There are changes to the scientific name for:
Black Scoter
Winter Wren
McCown's Longspur
Blue-winged Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Northern Waterthrush
Louisiana Waterthrush
In addition, the latest Clements World Bird List has been updated on the site.
This is used for the gallery. Bird names for the gallery are the Clements
names, but the order is the AOU order if you are looking at a region that is in
North America.
