Talk:Olivaceous Cormorant

Olivaceous Cormorant is Synonym for Neotropic Cormorant

The bird formerly known as Olivaceous Cormorant, Phalacrocorax olivaceous, is now treated as Neotropic Cormorant, Phalacrocorax brasilianus--see AOU Check-list (1998). Given the synonymy, the account for Olivaceous Cormorant or Mexican Cormorant, Phalacrocorax olivaceous, should be deleted or redirected to the account for Neotropic Cormorant.

Agree that it would be best to merge the articles. If we decide to keep a separate article for the northern subspecies, then Mexican Cormorant would be a better title as Olivaceous Cormorant can also refer to the South American form. Tigershrike (talk) 12:56, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

As there were no objections, I've merged the two articles. Tigershrike (talk) 10:56, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
