	Yellow-rumped Warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Two closely related North American bird forms, the eastern Myrtle Warbler and its western counterpart, Audubon's Warbler, are periodically lumped as the Yellow-rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata).
		Since 1973, American Ornithological Union has elected to merge these passerine birds as one species.
		The reluctance of some North American birdwatchers to accept A.O.U.'s change in speciation may stem from the changes in their "life lists".

	Albatross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Ornithological Union places seabirds, birds of prey and many others in a greatly enlarged order Ciconiiformes, whereas in Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, the more traditional Procellariiformes is retained.
		Both the British Ornithologists' Union and the South African authorities split the albatrosses into four genera as indicated in the table.
		The name albatross is devied from the from the Arabic al-câdous, (a pelican), which travelled to English via the Portuguese form Alcatraz.

	Tom Dunlap \| Tom Dunlap on Early Bird Guides \| Environmental History, 10.1 \| The History Cooperative
		Entries began with the bird's number on the American Ornithological Union's taxonomic list and its scientific name, continued in small type with terse descriptions of the bird-in-hand, its nesting habits, and its range, then shifted to larger letters and sentences for personal recollections, anecdotes, or life-history.
		Color Key to North American Birds (1903), one of a number of books Frank Chapman wrote for birdwatchers, looked like recent guides in replacing narrative with phrases giving distinctive physical features and putting pictures with text, but most clearly in recognizing that birdwatchers needed a particular kind of illustration.
		It followed then-current ornithological fashion in including subspecies—here the Intermediate Sparrow and the Nuttall Sparrow (see page 116)—and used a color key to organize perching birds (note the running head), which the other guides cited here put in the appendix or introduction.

		Every couple of years the American Ornithological Union comes out with a supplement to its checklist of North American birds, with name and status changes.
		It seems that what prompted the split was a genetic study mainly focused not on the North American geese, but on their relatives—living and extinct—in Hawaii.
		The latter species, four times the size of the nene, was apparently flightless, with a massive tortoise-like beak that it must have used to feed on tougher vegetation than grass.

	The secret history of American literature
		Even academia is bent on keeping this a secret, mostly because 95% of American professors are socialists (communists) and they love their government jobs.
		Secret world of US jails The United States government, in conjunction with key allies, is running an 'invisible' network of prisons and detention centres into which thousands of suspects have disappeared without trace since the 'war on terror' began.
		Barbara Meredith, a vice-president at the Association of American Publishers, a trade group, says that the open access movement could undermine the sustainability of the publishing industry, even though the entire open access literature currently represents less than 1% of what is published.

		George Bird Grinnell, publisher of Forest and Stream, in association with the American Ornithological Union, published the magazine.
		This first national Audubon organization claimed 200,000 members, but lack of financial backing and issues such as new laws that prevented collecting caused the organization and the new bird conservation movement to flounder.
		Permits are issued for certain exceptions, as for the ceremonial or religious use of eagle feathers by American Indians.

	Conservation Landmarks: Bureau of Biological Survey and National Biological Service
		Roots of the BBS can be traced to the 1883 founding of the American Ornithological Union (AOU) in New York City.
		Initially, the AOU focused on three subject areas--distribution, biological information and economic impact, and migratory behaviors of birds--all of which became major activities of the BBS.
		In 1889, the division initiated the more scientific North American Fauna series, which included that year a general paper discussing Dr. Merriam's concept of the life zones of North America (Cameron 1929).

		Recently the American Ornithological Union recognized a geographical segregate of the Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus) as a separate species, Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus bicknelli).
		Incubation takes about 13 days and the young are ready to leave the nest about 12 days after hatching.
		Notes: These two species have traditionally been treated as a single species called the "Gray-cheeked Thrush" until the American Ornithological Union listed them as separate species in 1995.

		The American Ornithological Union (AOU) has split several species in recent years, adding to the potential state list (AOU 1983, 1997).
		As of December 1997, the OTC has proposed 11 species as Endangered in the state: American bittern, least bittern, great egret, yellow-crowned night-heron, bald eagle, peregrine falcon, king rail, common tern, fl tern, short-eared owl, and loggerhead shrike.
		The ranges of species such as American bittern and common snipe have become diminished and fragmented as a result of wetland destruction.
