Hello folks.... Okay. I will admit it. I have not read anywhere that the Juncos and Yellow- rumps have had their names changed, or split, respectively. However, this seems to be the case. Unless I am reading more into the constant use of Slate-colored and Myrtle to denote these species. I thought I looked closely at the (what I thought was) the most recent AOU update. I somehow missed this change. Could someone out there please fill me in regarding whether this has happened or if we are just preparing for the inevitable? Thanks......
