FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] 5 new lifers!

[James Brooks <comeback@xxxxxxxx>]

Just went through the update to Clements' Birds of the World for Dec. 1, 
and on a snowy evening with an extra log on the fire I cozily added five 
new lifers:
Split of Greater Flamingo (now Phoenicopterus roseus) into Caribbean 
Flamingo (P. ruber). Greater seen in Morocco, Caribbean in Dominican 
Republic.
Common Snipe is now Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata). Why I saw 6 of 
those at Brainerd Levee last night. Not to be confused with the Common 
Snipe Gallinago gallinago seen in Europe.
European Herring Gull Larus argentatus and American Herring Gull L. 
smithsonianus.

Hispaniolan Quail-dove Geotrygon leucometopius, split from Gray-headed 
Quail-dove, seen in Dominican Republic and Cuba respectively.
Carrion Crow Corvus corone, resplit from Hooded Crow Corvus cornix, seen 
in Europe and Norway.
Not a bad night's work.
Sorry if only one of them is a Tennessee bird, but at least its about 
birds instead of license plates.
