Can anyone confirm that what I heard is true, that the AOU has recently voted to split the Olive-backed LEGO? 

Those pesky taxonomists have been at it again, and the split is supposed to take place soon - on January 1, 2016. *

Yea! I get to add a species to my Ecuador list!

Olive-backed LEGO is being split into the coastal species, the "Greenish-backed LEGO" and the inland species 

the "Mossy-backed LEGO," Legans bryophyta. The key to telling them apart is that the dorsal aspect of the 

sluggish inland species is mostly mossy, especially on its north side. 

It is found in mossy areas of the tropics - mostly.

 

Whereas the frenetic "Greenish-backed" species, Legans frenzyi, gathers no....

well, you know.

 

Joe Roller,

Happy, Healthy and Birdy New Year!

 

* The split was to have taken place on 4/1/16, but the date got moved up.

What is a LEGO???

 

I thought everyone knew. This is the olive-backed variety:

P.s. A few real birds, if anybody's interested. Yesterday, Sat., Dec. 26, at White Rocks Trail, Boulder County, a northern shrike and a killdeer. Today, Sun., Dec. 27, at Boulder Creek, 109th St. crossing, Boulder County, an American pipit, a ruby-crowned kinglet, and another killdeer; also a nice falcon show in the general area, with prairie merlin, prairie falcon, and many American kestrels. Pix, comments, and "likes" at CFO's Facebook site. (Leatherman heads for the nearest window...)
