Talk:List of birds of Saint Pierre and Miquelon

July 8, 2020 revisions edit

Because of the number of changes in the list and necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

  • Revise the references, counts, and text in the introduction.
  • Add 5 species and revise tags per Lepage.
  • Revise multiple families' common names per Clements.
  • Revise the sequence of species in genus Selasphorus (Hummingbirds).
  • Revise the sequence of species in family Rallidae (Rails, gallinules, and coots).
  • Revise the sequence of species in family Phalacrocoracidae (Cormorants and shags).

  • Revise the sequence of families in Order Passeriformes.
  • Split mew gull into common gull and short-billed gull and revise entries accordingly.
  • Revise the binomial of a cormorant species.
  • Revise the genus and position of ruby-crowned kinglet.

Why are there the french scientific names on the English Wikipedia? edit

I believe those are the French common names between the English common names and the scientific names. It's not uncommon to have species names in local languages. I imagine it would be helpful for a person visiting or talking to a person from the islands. Do you see a problem with it? Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨  02:02, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
