Seems the old "Myrtle" and "Audubon's" warblers may soon be restored as
separate species...see

.
        Right now, Ohioans are not too far from a bona fide Common Ringed
Plover up in Toronto. This European version of our routine semipalmated
plover, a big-time rarity, has been present recently:

and remains twitchable. A good reason to adorn a North American list.
        In other listworthy news, 2016's AOU official list at
http://listing.aba.org/aba-checklist/ is worth a look and shows a lot of
changes, especially in the order of species. For one example, the
warblers come just before the sparrows now. I spent some time revising
the central Ohio list to conform to this one, and others will have to do
something similar to keep up--not easy if they plan to publish...
