Entering sightings to my data-base (Wildlife Computing Bird Recorder 32) for a recent trip to St. Lucia. I need to add a species to the systematic list which it will not allow me to do until I input the Family number then the Species number.

Anyone out there point me to a site where this info can be obtained for St. Lucia Warbler Dendroica delicata.

Have tried googling around but haven't come up with anything.

Many thanks

Stewart :h?:

Stewart,
In the database I used to use you had the ability to add new species and tie them to familes by using a decimal point on an existing family number...I did it for yellow-legged gull which at the time wasn't listed in the database. Used the family number for Herring Gull and gave yellow-legged gull a value of 'point'1 on the herring gull number. This may help, as I've not used Bird Recorder I don't know.

The taxonomic part of that question is that St Lucia warbler is closely related to Adelaides warbler, so that is where in your list that the species would fit. However, the rest of your question is specific to your software, and therefore you should be able to find the necessary info at the manufacturers web page.

Cheers
Niels

Try family no. 2420
Make up your own species number closest to Adelaide's Warbler, suggest 294.
