• Revise the sequence of families.
• Revise the Orders of families Apodidae (swifts) and Trochilidae (hummingbirds).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Columbidae (pigeons and doves).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Charadriidae (plovers and lapwings).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Scolopacidae (sandpipers and allies).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Accipitridae (hawks, eagles, and kites).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Tyrannidae (tyrant flycatchers).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Hirundinidae (swallows).
• Delete two species per Avibase.
• Revise the text, counts, and references to reflect the above.
