Because of the large number of changes necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a long series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

• Revise the references, counts, and text in the introduction.

This article doesn't make sense to be organized in the way that it is. Labrador is part of continental North America and Newfoundland is an island. It would make far more sense listing which is common to each since the list will be pretty different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.161.195.2 (talk) 02:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect it is the way it is because the sources on birds of Canada divide them by province and Newfoundland and Labrador is a province. If you, or anyone, can find a good source which has separate lists for Newfoundland, the island, and Labrador on the continent, I'd be happy to help make the changes. SchreiberBike | ⌨  02:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
