Hi All, after the discussions recently about C&B cf IOC, we’ve been checking out the IOC list, and I’m a bit intrigued by the “Morepork” entry.
I’m assuming this is in reference to the Norfolk Island birds, which I understood to be all hybrids now (except perhaps for one long-lived individual??).
Am I correct in this assumption? Or is Ninox novaeseelandiae accepted for the Norfolk Morepork, with birds there still accepted as a full species? Or am I barking up completely the wrong tree, with “Morepork” in the IOC list referring to something else again?
Thanks (in anticipation) for the advice, John Tongue Ulverstone, Tas.
