What if I’ve seen a bird that doesn’t appear on Birdpost although I am fairly certain it exists?
There are several major world avian “taxonomies” (lists of common and scientific bird names). The two central bird taxonomies are the “Clements” and “AOU” (American Ornithological Union) with the AOU generally addressing North American Bird classification. There are minor differences between the two taxonomies in the way bird names are spelled or hyphenated but more important are the discrepancies in the birds included on both lists. For example, the Blue Grouse in the AOU taxonomy is split into two distinct species (the Dusky Grouse and the Sooty Grouse) in the Clements. On the whole, the lists are very similar but we ultimately chose a taxonomy that covered not only North America, but the world, and that was the Clements taxonomy.
