Hi Tweeters,

I was getting ready to scribble on my Scoter page in Sibley, and ran across
this article in Birder's Magazine,
http://cs.birdersworld.com/brdcs/blogs/field_of_view/2010/07/27/latest-changes-to-the-aou-check-list.aspx
<http://cs.birdersworld.com/brdcs/blogs/field_of_view/2010/07/27/latest-changes-to-the-aou-check-list.aspx>which
says " Black Scoter was recognized as distinct from Common Scoter of
Eurasia. Please note the common names. The supplement that appears in *The
Auk* refers, incorrectly, to the North American species as "American Scoter"
and the Eurasian bird as "Black Scoter." Look for a correction in a future
issue of *The Auk." *

**Looks like I'd better use pencil.
