Hi Tweeters,
This usually isn't my thing but I thought this was interesting.
To those who like to use the latin names of birds check this out.
This is a synopsis of the Warbler changes thanks to Bob Doe from SATXbirds:
MAJOR
changes in the taxonomy of the warblers. We don't gain or lose any
species, but the scientific names of many species are changed to reflect
the presumed evolutionary relationships within the group. The order
they should appear in checklists (and future field guides) is changed.
Genera Wilsonia, Dendroica, Euthlypis, and Parula are deleted, although
the family continues to be Parulidae.
