[TN-Bird] Reaarrange your checklist! Again

Nov. 20, 2002

If you didn't think the Yellow-breasted Chat looked like a regular warbler 
you were right. Check out this new paper in the Auk:

I. J. Lovette and E. Bermingham. 2002. What is a Wood-Warbler? Molecular 
Characterization of a Monophyletic Parulidae. Auk 119(3):695-714

Looks like they propose to move the Chat out of Parulidae and put it nearer 
to what they now say is it's next closest relative, the Bobolink. 

This will call for a new rash of updated field guides for us to buy 
;o).........

Good Birding!!!
