    AOU-NACC Proposals 2021

    (Speaking of Mew Gulls, it might be a good time to get used to the idea of calling it a Short-billed Gull, as there may be a future split of Old World vs. New World Mew Gulls, in which case our bird would likely be renamed Short-billed Gull, its original name.) --Paul Lehman, San Diego May 13...

    2021-C-15 Add Common Wood-Pigeon Columba palumbus to the Main List. Pyle et al. (2020) mentioned a May 1935 record by Alan Brooks off Newfoundland on board a ship crossing the Atlantic in a westerly direction (Gosselin 1992). The position of the ship when the bird was recorded is not known...

    N. micromega. Thanks Laurent and Björn for translation and that photo. If Cory and Tristam had the internet that would have squelched their beef. I looked at an article about Freyreiss botany collections and one species type was collected in Santo Domingo. On a ship from Germany to Brazil...

    If it is a name based on something that doesn't exist, I don't see how it can be used for something that does exist? There you go again using logic with bird nomenclature. Thank you Laurent. But what does Richmond mean by Type: Not calendula Linn. and then listing R. cuvieri?

    2021-A-3: Split Mew Gull Larus canus brachyrhynchus and rename as Short-billed Gull Nomenclatural issues: Mlíkovský (2012) considered the name kamtschatschensis Bonaparte, 1857, to be both a junior synonym to Gavina camtschatchensis Bruch, 1855, and a nomen nudum, and Bruch’s name was adopted by...

    2021-A-9: Resurrect Corthylio for Ruby-crowned Kinglet The best part of this genus is that the type species is the "hypothetical" (read drunken lie?) of Regulus cuvieri. http://www.zoonomen.net/cit/RI/Genera/C/c01657a.jpg . http://birdaz.com/blog/tag/cuviers-regulus/ ...
