Thank to Kim Eckert for reporting on the AOU's 52nd Checklist to the birds and how it affects the list order of Minnesota birds. I have incorporated these changes into the list of Minnesota birds that you can download for free off my blog:
http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com The list is on the right-hand column of the blog and is a .doc file. But it can be converted to other formats. The North American checklists on my blog will be converted to the 52nd Checklist order in the near future. dan On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 5:06 PM, Kim R Eckert <[email protected]> wrote: > As some of you already know, the American Ornithologists' Union recently > published the 52nd Supplement to its Check-List of North American Birds. > While none of the splits or lumps adds or subtracts any species on the > Minnesota list, it's worth noting the changes affecting our state's > checklist: > > - The name Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) is changed to Common > Gallinule (Gallinula galeata). > > - The scientific name of Snowy Plover is changed from Charadrius > alexandrinus to Charadrius nivosus. > > - Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) has been moved from the Family > Turdidae to the Family Muscicapidae (Northern Wheatear becomes the sole > species on the Minnesota list in this family). > > - The most sweeping change affects the scientific names and list sequence > of most of the warblers (Family Parulidae); accordingly, the 42 species > recorded in Minnesota are now listed as follows: > > Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) > Worm-eating Warbler (Helmitheros vermivorum) > Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) > Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis) > Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) > Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora cyanoptera) > Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) > Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) > Tennessee Warbler (Oreothlypis peregrina) > Orange-crowned Warbler (Oreothlypis celata) > Nashville Warbler (Oreothlypis ruficapilla) > Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis) > MacGillivray’s Warbler (Geothlypis tolmiei) > Mourning Warbler (Geothlypis philadelphia) > Kentucky Warbler (Geothlypis formosa) > Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) > Hooded Warbler (Setophaga citrina) > American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) > Kirtland’s Warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii) > Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina) > Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) > Northern Parula (Setophaga americana) > Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia) > Bay-breasted Warbler (Setophaga castanea) > Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca) > Yellow Warbler (Setophaga petechia) > Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) > Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata) > Black-throated Blue Warbler (Setophaga caerulescens) > Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum) > Pine Warbler (Setophaga pinus) > Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) > Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) > Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) > Black-throated Gray Warbler (Setophaga nigrescens) > Townsend’s Warbler (Setophaga nigrescens) > Hermit Warbler (Setophaga occidentalis) > Black-throated Green Warbler (Setophaga virens) > Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) > Wilson’s Warbler (Cardellina pusilla) > Painted Redstart (Myioborus pictus) > Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens) > > It's quite possible I may have missed something, so be sure to let mou-net > know if there are any corrections or additions to the information above.
