MD Osprey:

We have updated a number of MD/DCRC web products to conform to the 
AOU Checklist 52nd Supplement.

Updated products include the Official Lists for MD and DC, the MD and 
DC Review Lists, the MD and DC abridged databases, and a few others, 
such as a summary of recent package contents and decisions and our 
index of identification and distribution references.

They can all be found on our MD/DCRC home page, here ...

         http://www.mdbirds.org/mddcrc/rcindex.html

The most noticeable changes in the AOU 52nd Supplement taxonomy, for 
our region, are the DNA-driven resequencing and genera changes of 
most of the warblers, and also the change of name of our North 
American "Common Moorhen" to "Common Gallinule."

The data entries for reports and records reflect decisions through 
MD/DCRC package # 138.

Thanks to MOS Webmaster John Christy for posting this information.
