For eBirders! The annual taxonomy update is starting 24 October

[Kim Farley via Canberrabirds <>]

There are multiple taxonomies for the world's birds, with eBird and other projects of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology using the Clements Checklist of Birds of the World.  

Clements is updated annually to reflect changes in avian taxonomy and these changes are currently being incorporated into eBird. 

As an eBirder you don't need to do anything. Any changes, and there may be none for you, automatically flow through to your lists and stats. One change of interest to local eBirders who have also birded in Africa and parts of Asia is the chance to pick up an armchair tick through the split of Intermediate Egret into three species. Our local Intermediate Egret is one of the three.

Lots more interesting info is on eBird's 2023 Taxonomy Update page
