Dear Tweeters,  
Greetings from Tobago. Congratulations to all the birders who've enjoyed seeing the Red-footed Booby in Port Townsend. I myself just saw my lifer RFBO's here at Blue Waters Inn today. Thanks again to all the Tweeters who recommended this place.
I'm closing in on a milestone in my life list, and have been wondering what goodies, in the guise of taxonomic splits, there might await under the metaphorical Xmas tree. I am beginning to think that my Washington list won't get knocked back below 400 after all, because the Hoary Redpoll lump should be countered with a split (or re-split) of the GW Teal and the Common Teal--or Sideways Teal, as I prefer to think of it. 
Is that right?
If anyone out there in Tweeterland can point me to a thorough summary of the impending taxonomic update, I'd love to see that.
Yours truly,
