Re: [nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting in the news

[Paul R Sweet]

Thanks Klemens.

Everything looks great for a wild bird. Feathers, claws etc show no sign of 
being in a cage. Also dates perfect for vagrant Painted Bunting.

Can you confirm the Painted Bunting was associating with 7 European 
Goldfinches? If so this casts some doubt on the Bunting being a wild bird no?

[nysbirds-l] Acheiving 400 in NYS

[syschiff]

Hi friends:

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the outpouring of comments and support from all of 
you. Thank you all.  After all it's only a number. You just have to be out 
there enjoying the hobby and looking for a very long time.

But, with the state of Taxonomy, I can't just rest.  They may lump Thayer's 
Gull, Nelson's Sparrow and who knows what. After all, in the past, I lost 
Audubon's Warbler, Bronze Grackle and others. Then again, Common Teal, Oregon 
Junco, Western Willet may (or may not) split.

As an aside, a proposal to split the PAINTED BUNTING (that a bunch of us saw) 
into two species failed in the latest AOU proposal.  It seems that both 
proposed new species could not be separated in the field. If it passed, we 
wouldn't know what we had.   Shades of the recent Western Flycatcher.
