Owls splits etc.

Hi all – on the topic of splitting owls etc, it looks like IOC is considering re-splitting Greater and Lesser Sooty Owl, see here: http://www.worldbirdnames.org/updates/species-updates-3-3/ (They should never have been lumped in the first place i.m.h.o…!) cheers Peter

    Peter,

    I know that Lloyd Nielsen wrote a long paper about this 6 months back that was cc’d to IOC – a good chance they considered it, I’d say!!

    Cheers,

    Martin Cachard Cairns

    PS – He was planning something similar as well with lurida Boobook in the near future too,as far as I know…
