Recently I tried to input sightings from a recent visit to the Long Point Biosphere Reserve on Lake Erie. Much to my surprise Herring Gull has disappeared from all of lists of birds, including the ABA and the AOU lists. The only change to my system recently was the addition of the new Clements List of 2009 V 6.3.2. However, when that list was added I was told that over 1000 records were not accepted. Does anyone have any idea how this species disappeared? I am concerned that other species are also missing and I will only find this out over time.

Hi Paul,

Your Herring Gull is still there and so are your sightings. I see that the checklist data for the Herring Gull thing is incomplete for this release.

Please import the attached CSV file using the settings shown below in the screen shot. NOTE: replace "Clements 2008" with your "Clements 6.3.2" in the example below. This should fix your situation.
