No, No!! Keep going with the additions, 700 is looking a little closer
with each one :-)
Any advances on Western Shrike-tit??
One more suggestion for the twitchers list on Tony's website, how about
a column with the title "Bogey Bird"? Every twitcher must have one, they
haven't sen despite numerous attempts! I have two - Masked Owl (have
heard them but not seen them) and Franklins Gull (keeps disappearing the
day before I get to look for it).
It would be interesting to see what others consider their bogey
birds..
Yours in all things "green"

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!

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
