Wow, thanks for that posting on the new Hudsonian Whimbrel, Patty. That's the first of at least 3 lifers in my list thanks to the eBird Taxonomic update that is in progress. People like you who have done my AAST fund-raising tours abroad should also check the Yellow Warbler and Striated Heron in their life lists.
As I have hoped for years, the Yellow Warbler has been split into the chestnut-headed Mangrove Yellow Warbler Setophaga petechia of C. America and the Northern Yellow Warbler Setophaga aestiva of N. America (which overlaps with the Mangrove in winter).
The neotropical Striated Heron Butorides striata is now split from the Afro-Asian Little Heron B. atricapilla.
