Bird Notes: Now split from Audubon’s Shearwater 2 Possibly two species, with varying breeding seasons (= a cryptic species) 3 Now split from Masked Booby 4 Lava Heron now lumped with Striated Heron 5 This may be an endemic species (Galapagos Oystercatcher). For example, recognised by Livesey, 2010 (Phylogenetics of modern shorebirds (Charadriiformes) based on phenotypic evidence: analysis and discussion) 6 Amongst thousands of birds (certainly Grey Phalaropes) were a few darker backed birds seen at some distance, most likely Red-necked Phalaropes 7 Barn Owls were variably dark-breasted birds 8 Note this split of the Warbler Finch into two species. Accepted by the South American Classification Committee of the AOU, based on the following; PETREN, K., B.R. GRANT, & P.R GRANT. 1999. A phylogeny of Darwin's finches based on microsatellite DNA length variation. Proc. Royal Soc. London B 266: 321-329. TONNIS, B., P. R. GRANT, B. R. GRANT, & K. PETREN. 2005.
