HI ALL:
Saw this posting at the ABA blog about forthcoming AOU checklist changes:

http://blog.aba.org/2011/05/bulletin-new-splits.html

In summary:

New World Common Gallinule is resplit from the Old World (Common) Moorhen.

New World Snowy Plover is split from Kentish Plover

Bahama Warbler is split from Yellow-throated Warbler

Mexican Jay is split into two species: Mexican Jay (of SW USA and
Mexico)and Transvolcanic Jay (rest of Mexico).
