The 62nd supplement is out ... at least the ABA's take on it ... see
https://www.aba.org/the-2021-aos-supplement-is-out/
The major changes, at least for Maine and the Northeast, are a ton of
new scientific names and major changes in the passerine sequence of
families - Shrikes drop below Vireos, Tits move to follow Jays / Crows,
Gnatcatchers above Wrens, and Thrushes below Mimics and Starlings. All
in all not too bad. None of the splits effected the Northeast birds.
