Definitive Australian bird list

[Peter Marsh <>]

The recent article in Emu regarding the proposed split in grasswrens  
caused me to communicate on this subject with Birds Australia. Today I  
received a reply from Graeme Hamilton, CEO of birds Australia saying :-
> BA's Research and Conservation Committee is in the process of

It seems like we will get exactly what has been suggested at some time  
in the future. Hope all in favour of the BA/BOCA merger will vote so  
the list will come from a clear Australian peak birding body.
