Glad to see the change of the French name of Psaltriparus minimus from "mésange" to Orite.

French generic names must also change for family Arremonidae and genus Forpus, but in futures AOS papers

Must be a time zone thing...anyway, feel free to send me a copy if you downloaded it

There's a summary of what was in that paper on the ABA website:

The 2021 AOS Supplement is out! - American Birding Association

Every summer, birders anxiously await publication of the “Check-list Supplement” by the American Ornithological Society’s Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of North and Middle American Birds (a.k.a. the NACC). The supplement (available linked to here eventually) details revisions to...

The Common Gull split should make a lot of folks happy. Also pleased about the Rufous-capped Warbler split. I've only ever seen the one in Panama (Now Chestnut-capped), so this means the one that actually occurs in the USA is back to being a new species for me once I make the effort.

The rejection of the McKay Bunting lump continues to make AOS's standards on what is or isn't a species laughable

I have it, let's see if I can attach it...

The removal does suggest that they might still want to change something in the supplement? Not sure what that would be...

It's formatted for print already...I think they just jumped the gun on the assigned release date.

Indeed. I would wish for more of an explanation on this one - without it the recent Haida Gwai Owl decision makes for a baffling comparison at the moment. I was about to say that the only consistency is in clinging to old checklists as long as possible...

Until I noticed within the explanation for the new order of passerine families: Peucedramidae (ocoteros). Slipped that name change announcement a bit under the radar.

Laugh away.

Does the gull split make up for completely ignoring the Storm-petrel proposal?

I'm hoping this blog is more of a rough draft and not that they actually deferred it. But I would expect some mention of it in the latter case.

Which blog are you referring to? I couldn't find ocoteros in the actual official update pdf

 

[Mysticete]

The proposal also mentions Larus kamtschatchenis, however I do not think this species was split in this update. Kamtschatka Gull does turn up in Alaska, so I am not sure what this means (or if it isn't just a typo).

ahh...I think you are referring to the ABA blog post. That was written by someone not on the AOS taxonomy committee. I think this is the author's addition just to poke the bear a bit.

They did actually split off the Cape Verde (I think?) Storm Petrel, but it's extralimital and doesn't otherwise effect the checklist. Would have been nice to see the Pacific population split off, which seemed a reasonable option and what I sort of expected would happen.
