Species Accounts are organized by family according to the 61st Supplement (2020) of the AOS Checklist of North and Middle American Birds (the 62nd Supplement came out while the book was in production, which is to be expected). A birder or rehabber looking for a comprehensive collection should consider having both books in their collection.

My friend was right. This time I got to see Pied-billed and Least Grebes at the reservoir, along with last week’s collection of Egrets. As I pointed out at the beginning of the pandemic, this can be a very valuable skill right now. But they are still too populated for my 2020 tastes.

It does seem like the order is concurrent with the 61st Supplement, which came out in 2020, but Northwestern Crow is included as a full species.

I drove out a bit late because of an almost-flat tire that needed attention, and then managed to drive right past the reservoir without seeing it. While not my quite my first sighting of an Olive-sided Flycatcher for 2020, this difficult species is always a welcome find as it makes it way through Mexico to reach Central and South America.
