Greetings birders, Unfortunately I made (at least) a couple of errors in the latestchecklist release. 1) Stephen Murray has pointed out that the IOC has split thestorm-petrels into two families and this requires major changes to the sequenceof the Procellariiformes. 2) Ashwin Rudder and Nikolas Haass have recently discussed theRed-crowned Parakeet complex on Birding-Aus. There are two extinct Australian speciesin this complex, Cyanoramphussubflavescens Lord Howe Parakeet Cyanoramphus erythrotisMacquarie Parakeet The upgrade for v2014Jan contained this change, but itsomehow did not get added to the main list for vJan2014 or subsequent. Therefore,long-term users may not be affected by this error. These two errors do not affect species numbers in anysignificant way, so I will not correct them until the next scheduled version(v2015Jul), if that suits users. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks, Stephen, Ashwin and Nikolas, your input is greatlyappreciated. Cheers, David James Sydney ==============================
