AviList ([3]https://www.avilist.org/) has recently been adopted as
 the standard world taxonomy and will be followed by eBird/Cornell
 ([4]https://ebird.org/news/avilist-a-unified-global-checklist-of-the

 Warbling Vireo is still lumped in the recently-released 2025 AviList
 so I would not expect a split this year but it may happen in the
 future based on AOU proposal 2025-C-3
 AviList also lumps Amur Stonechat into Siberian Stonechat (either
 way still a good bird for Texas!)

To give some more precise info for those interested, I’ll summarize the splits/lumps that affect Connecticut and the USA as a whole: CT: Whimbrel split into Eurasian and Hudsonian whimbrels Yellow Warbler split into American Yellow and Mangrove warblers USA: Fea’s Petrel split into Cape Verde and Desertas petrels Elegant Trogon split into Coppery-tailed and Elegant trogons Red-legged Thrush split into Western and Eastern red-legged thrushes Siberian and Amur stonechats lumped into Siberan Stonechat Overall, nothing too major to the USA, except for the Whimbrel and Yellow Warbler splits. There are some lumps that have occured outside the USA that affect nomenclature here (namely the swamphen lump, returning the name Purple Swamphen to the invasive species in FL). I may have also missed some, but those are the ones I could recall off the top of my head -Matt Bell Vernon > On Jul 10, 2025, at 12:01, C. S.

Hi All, The other notable change I see in the new AviList is that Yellow-breasted Chat is no longer in its own family! It’s now included in the New World Blackbirds.
