IOU Working Group on Avian Checklists update (1 Viewer)

[mb1848]

In an IOU publication Flutter they publish an update on the work of the WGAC. Main news is they expect to publish the IOU's Global Checklist of Birds in late 2024. No details on work so far. I had Spring 2025 in a pool on date of publication.

Thanks for posting that link...I was thinking we were due for a update, although its a shame it isn't more detailed.

Late 2024 is far earlier than I expected...I too was thinking 2025. I am wondering if the first version of the list should be more interpreted as a "rough draft", that might be missing some elements.

Also wondering what this means for some of the birds whose family level reviews were "completed" but in which there are still differences between lists. Stuff like Yellow-rumped Warbler for instance.
