How do they decide?<div class="usercontent"><p>I'm pretty much a "casual" birder but recently I've been wondering about something that maybe you more "scientific-types" can answer for me. Here's the background behind my asking. We have a large flock of Redpolls this year and have been carefully watching them for Arctics. (thank you David and Fjord for suggesting Sibley's website for help with this!) The difference between the two kinds of Redpolls seem rather minor and yet they are listed as different species. A few years ago we had an Oregon Junco at our feeders here in NE Pennsylvania, but when I went to add it to my life list, I discovered that it is not considered a separate species from the Dark-eyed Junco... of which it is very much different in appearance. In checking some of my older field guides, it was in the past listed as Junco oreganus. We were pretty excited to have this rare-for-our-neck-of-the-woods bird, and now I can't even list it! (Is that whining? I was trying not to do that!)</p></div>Nancy
