Hi Tweeters,

I was just reading the Birdscope newsletter put out by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology this morning. At the end of the opinion piece by John Fitzpatrick on page two he hints that the Myrtle and Audubon's forms of the Yellow-rumped Warbler may soon be split into two species by the AOU Committee on Classification and Nomenclature. Has anyone heard more specifics about this or any other taxonomic changes in the works?
