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. Dean Edwards Knoxville, TN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 12:48:59 -0400 From: David Sibley To: BIRDWG01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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!
