Thanks Steve,
Whoops, yes Hornbill Friarbird should be on the list. Sorry, my error.
If you have already downloaded the list and are happy to retrofit it, here is
what to do:
Insert a new row below row 694 (Helmeted Friarbird) and type the following in
the first three cells
694.1 / Philemon yorki / Hornbill Friarbird
Tony will put an updated version on the Birders Totals web site soon.
To clarify, Hornbill Friarbird is the 'helmeted friarbird from Eastern Qld (s.
Torres Strait, Cape York to about Clairview/Shoalwater Bay). It is an
Australian endemic
Within Australia Helmeted Friarbird P. buceroides is now confined to the
Northern Territory.
Thanks for the armchair tick, let me know if you find anymore errors, but
please not too many, I want to celebrate 750 in the field, not at the computer!
David James,

Hello David. I have just downloaded the checklist which is very helpful and
thank you for making it available. I was just wondering why the Hornbill
Friarbird does not appear on the list. The IOC list seems to have the Hornbill
Friarbird (philemon yorki) split from Helmeted Friarbird. It states that it is
found in NE Australia so I assume it is the same as the yorki sub-species of
the Helmeted Friarbird.
Cheers Steve Murray

Hi folks,
The checklist available for download on Tony Palliser's "Birders Totals" web
page is not an 'official' checklist for Australia yet. It was prepared by me
for the "Birders Totals" web page and for BARC. However, since BARC is a
committee of Birds (Birdlife) Australia, BARC will not officially adopt this
list unless BA endorses it. BARC has therefore recommended that BA consider it.
Our recommended approach is not just a new list to replace Christidis & Boles
but a new process to have a living checklist instead of a static one,
consistent with the rest of the world, while retaining an appropriate guiding
roll in the local decisions. It is worth taking a bit of time to ensure that we
get it right.
Meanwhile it is easy and fun to calculate your list:

Tell us what you think.

Note that version 3.0c (not yet official I guess) also lists all recognised
subspecies, so for the first time we may have an "official" Aus ssp list
