July 7, 2020 revisions

Because of the large number of changes necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a long series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

• Add 1 species per eBird.

• Revise the sequence of species in family Rallidae (Rails, gallinules, and coots).

Problems with list

There are a host of problems with the list. For example:- Ferruginous Hawk, Baird's Sparrow, Dickcissel and Eastern Meadowlark all breed in Manitoba, yet are labelled (A). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.173.62 (talk) 05:14, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
