Jeff,

I found three more species for Belize that should be added to the AOU Country list:  Canada Goose, Wilson's Storm-Petrel and Gray-breasted Wood-Wren.  The total species for the country is 584.

Thanks much Bert. After applying your changes, I have a list of 583 for Belize using the AOU 2009 tax list. Can you please export your checklist using these parameters and attach it here so I can see where we differ?

Jeff

Jeff, I think the missing one is Whimbrel.  If not, message me again and I'll export the list.  --- Bert

Hi Bert,

If you could go ahead and export the list it will take a lot of the complexity out of a few things. Please export with the setting shown below.

Thanks

Jeff

Jeff,

I am doing as you say but I distrust the results.  I selected Clements.  Also, I used Location = Belize, but on my system that checklist includes Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird, a species I saw in Belize and is considered hypothetical since we do not have a specimen or photo.  By AOU 2009 rules, that list has 585 species.  By Clements 2008 v.6.3.2, there are 592 species.  The extras are paired with known Belize species:  Gray-headed and Gray-fronted Dove, Least Pygmy-Owl and Central American Pygmy-Owl, Long-billed and Long-tailed Hermit, Little and Stripe-throated Hermit, White-necked and Guianan Puffbird, Northern and Amazonian Barred-Woodcreeper, Variable and Wing-barred Seedeater.  Only one of each pair actually occurs in Belize.

If you want me to send you something else, let me know what it is.

Bert
