    Howard and Moore Checklist G. O. A. T.?

    Oh I know the paper...I read through it for my subspecies group project which tackled Galliformes some months ago, I am just surprised they would be the first checklist to follow it. And while I am the first person who complains we focus to much time on common names on the forum, keeping Common...

    Howard and Moore Checklist G. O. A. T.?

    I am just casually checking through this and cross-referencing with my own checklist project. Pied Bronze Cuckoo being split from Little Bronze Cuckoo is another split that at least isn't recognized by IOC, although I am not certain it's new to the checklist

    Howard and Moore Checklist G. O. A. T.?

    The real news here is that they are working on a new edition and they plan to move it online, and update more recently. Glad to see they are continuing, as I wasn't sure what there status was going to be. While I endorse the WGAC efforts to reconcile IOC/Clements/Birdlife, I do think it will be...
