Here's a note from David Sibley which just came through on the 
ID-Frontiers Listserv.  He has posted draft range maps on his website
for the new wren and whip-poor-will splits.

Subject: [BIRDWG01] Ranges of new Whip-poor-will and Winter Wen species

Hi All,

I've just created rough drafts of new range maps for the recently split Winter 
Wrens and Whip-poor-wills and posted them at my blog www.sibleyguides.com or 
direct links here:

Whip-poor-will -
http://www.sibleyguides.com/2010/08/new-draft-range-maps-for-whip-poor-will/

Winter Wren -
http://www.sibleyguides.com/2010/08/new-draft-range-maps-for-winter-wren/

I will be updating these with new information as it comes in, and I'd be 
grateful for any comments. In particular there are a few records of 
extralimital Whip-poor-wills in the west that the AOU supplement implies are of 
unknown species. And I don't have much information about the status of the two 
Winter Wrens in most of the western states (or didn't have time to dig very 
deep) so that needs to be sorted out a bit better.

Thanks!
