Greetings all,
Looks like we have 2 new species in North America. The “AOU” voted to split
Marsh Wren into Western and Eastern Marsh Wrens as well Willet into Prairie
and Saltmarsh Willets. So where you are and when you’re there will be
helpful. “Ebird. Org” then explore, then explore species, has some helpful
information on separating the species. Looks like parts of the Great Plains
might have both Marsh Wrens for some challenging ID and some birds may not
be identifiable to spp.
Cheers, Leif at Hector
