Re: [cobirds] Mexican Duck on e-bird

It would appear so. I have a check list from the San Pedro river in AZ, it shows Mexican Duck. However, my life list number has not changed ......yet!

Did Mexican Duck get split from Mallard??  E-bird seems to think so, so I was wondering, if anyone knows for sure, it is all confusing to me.  If it has, then this will be a new species for Colorado, since there have been more and more Mexican Ducks in the state, in the last several years.

From e-bird's Home Page:    If eBird had a subspecies group such as Mallard (Mexican) that was relevant to the new split, then those entries will be upgraded from a subspecies group to the new species (e.g., Mexican Duck). If you did not specify the subspecies, then we try to assign records based on known range and occurrence patterns.
