Yes, thanks Paul

 

Originally there was no relevant difference (ACT-related) between C&B 2008 and WLAB

Lindsay, Geoffrey

 

COG now uses the Working List of Australian Birds by Birdlife Australia and Darwin University:

 

birdlife.org.au/conservation/science/taxonomy

 

We use whatever list Birdlife Australia uses, and moved away from C&B 2008 a couple of years ago.

Cheers

Can anyone enlighten me?  What is the "official" bird list for Australia.  My query was prompted by Roger Williams' post of he recent trip to the Alice Springs area which included a photo of a "Sandhill Grasswren".  So I went looking for it and indeed found it in the Cornell Avi-base along with the "Western Grasswren" and the "Short-tailed Grasswren". Are these now official or are they simply proposed?  Appreciate any advice>
