28 October 2019

{flickr photo=31631848762 align=right}

What is the rarest bird you've seen? In Britain could it be Allen's Gallinule, or Brown-headed Cowbird, or maybe on a world scale you've managed to see Carunculated Fruit Dove, Djibouti Francolin or Eaton's Pintail?

blockersYou can now check your top 100 'blockers', that is species you have seen that very few other listers have. On any list, click the kiwi to get a list of up to 100 blockers, ordered by their rarity value. You can do this for any list for any other lister too, not just your own lists.

The Clements World List has now been updated to the latest 2019 updates.

As always, you'll be notified of the taxonomic updates you need to apply.

 

US State Checklists updated

16 July 2019

Following the update to American Ornithological Society (AOU) and American Birding Association (ABA) checklists in BUBO Listing, we have also updated all US state authority checklists. These now follow the latest AOS taxonomy, and incorporate new species additions for all states where known. Many states do not themselves update their published lists regularly so there are undoubtedly a few errors in our state lists. If you find any, please let us know in the forum.

North American Checklists all updated

15 July 2019

All North American checklists on BUBO Listing are updated to the latest official published versions and taxonomies. In particular this includes the authorities listed below (shown with the major species changes):

American Ornithological Society (AOS) - AOS 60th supplement (June 2019)

{flickr photo="8084138434" align=right}

  • White-winged Scoter split into Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca, White-winged Scoter M. deglandi and Stejneger’s Scoter M. stejnegeri
  • Grey-faced Petrel Pterodroma gouldi split from Great-winged Petrel P. macroptera
  • Monteiro’s Storm-Petrel Hydrobates monteiroi split from Band-rumped Storm-Petrel H. castro
  • Orange-bellied Trogon Trogon aurantiiventris lumped into Collared Trogon T. collaris

American Birding Association (ABA) - v8.0.5 (December 2018), incorporating taxonomic changes from AOS 59th supplement

  • White-collared Seedeater Sporophila torqueola split into Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater S. torqueloa and Morelet's Seedeater S. moreletti
  • Chivi Vireo Vireo chivi split from Red-eyed Vireo V. olivaceus
  • And from earlier 2018 updates, the addition of new species: Black-backed Oriole, Great Black Hawk, Red-backed Shrike, Pied Wheatear, and Mistle Thrush, Indian Peafowl, European Robin, Thick-billed Warbler, and River Warbler

aba listWe have also pre-empted the above taxonomic changes from AOS 60th supplement which ABA is likely to adopt formally in December 2019.

Importantly we now extend our ABA area to include Hawaii, as per the v8.0.1 (November 2017) update, which results in over 100 new species being available. We keep the 'old' ABA Continental Traditional area for historical lists (pre 2016) but you should use the new ABA Area location, including Hawaii, in future.

 

IOC World List v9.2

27 June 2019

{flickr photo=24319361336 align=right}

The IOC World List has now been updated to the latest published version 9.2 from June 2019.

Several changes were made to the Little Shrikethrush complex. Other splits that will gain listers a few armchair ticks include White-winged and Stejneger's Scoters, Indian Roller, Tickell's Blue Flycatcher and South African Long-billed Pipits, whilst we say goodbye to Barbary Falcon as a distinct species.

Regional or country lists based on IOC, such as the IOC Western Palearctic list, have also been updated.

We now automatically apply these updates where we can, and in other cases you will be prompted for any taxonomic changes to address yourself.
