Norm (in Manhattan):
GREAT question and the best answer for Warbler-Philes is an easy one: No wood-warbler family (Parulidae) changes proposed, BUT (drum roll for Corvid and Fringillid fans):
- "Woodhouse" Western Scrub-Jay subspecies could be elevated to species rank, per a current proposal; and
- Lump of Common and Hoary Redpoll is also in the proposal stage.
That's your "elevator" pitch summary, if you wish the simple answer.
There's more details for other taxa/proposals, below....and ALSO at the following link:

Got wood-warbler questions? If so, I have answers for you. I'm Daniel Edelstein — biologist, birding guide, birding instructor (www.warblerwatch.com and danieledelstein@att.net) — who ponders: Are there any wonders in our world more fascinating than the elegant beauty of wood-warblers?
