Comments on English bird names

Both the source list (published by Bermuda Audubon Society) and the AOS use American English for the bird names, so I have done so here, but I've retained British English spellings in each family's text. Craigthebirder ( talk) 15:06, 11 August 2017 (UTC) reply

July 10, 2020 revisions

Because of the number of changes necessitated by the update to the Check-list of North and Middle American Birds which the American Ornithological Society published on June 30, 2020, the revisions to this article are presented here rather than in a series of edit summaries. Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

  • Revise the references, counts, and text in the introduction.
  • Add 1 family and species per eBird. The text is from the family's article - see it for original sources.
  • Revise multiple families' common names per Clements.
  • Revise the sequence of species in family Rallidae (Rails, gallinules, and coots).
  • Revise the sequence of species in family Phalacrocoracidae (Cormorants and shags).
