It also needs splitting up into familes and the birds categorised along the lines of the List of Oaklahoma Birds model. Nick mallory 04:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just created a new template, {{Bird list header}}, to help these lists out, and this may be a good place to try it out. I'll start adding it. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 05:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Y'all are doing a good job. (I feel a bit like

Well, I just found a fatal flaw in the template. If you click the edit button of the section header, it doesn't work. I'll have to reformulate the template a bit. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 05:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I mended the issue by deciding to eliminate the section header edit button. The alternative was to manually include section headers above the template in each bird list. I feel this is the right decision because it is not that big of a deal to edit the whole page instead of a section. These are low edit articles anyway. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 06:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update to 2009 AOU Checklist for species-level taxonomy, but also consider SACC for taxonomy and higher-level placement because it is in some aspects possibly more up to date (i.e. cites sources more recent than those in the main AOU addenda) Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 00:21, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.
• Add 1 species per eBird.
• Revise multiple families' common names per Clements.
• Revise the sequence of species in family Phasiannidae (Pheasants, grouse, and allies).
• Revise the sequence of species in genus Selasphorus (Hummingbirds).
• Revise the sequence of species in family Rallidae (Rails, gallinules, and coots).
• Revise the sequence of families in order Suliformes.
• Revise the sequence of species in family Phalacrocoracidae (Cormorants and shags).
