[SzimiStyle]

For those interested in having The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World 6th Edition available in Excel sheet I uploaded my version and shared it via my blog. In case you want to have the list manageable fell free to find (http://web.me.com/gyorgy.szimuly/SzimiStyles_Birding_Experience/Blog_EN/Entries/2008/1/17_The_Clements_Checklist_of_Birds_of_the_World_6t h_Edition_in_Excel_(updated).html) the download link.

Though there has been a little delay I will soon upload a new version where all the countries are listed where one seen a lifer. The Pivot Table just summarizes everything automatically.

Have a good birding: Szimi

I am not sure I am breaking copyright laws. I was using a source, which I was named, to create my version of list. This was not done by copy and paste but typing all the names individually.

But if this is really hurts the laws then I delete the file for sure. Any par related to this?

I would have thought this was fine. No one owns the names of the birds and I would have thought Clements does not have a copyright on the order of the names. if it is illegal, the publishers will need to get on to a number of sites including this one:

Anyway, a downloadable file is very handy, thanks Szimi.

What would be nice is a version of Clements with all the awful spelling and grammatical errors removed. Corrections like Grey Wagtail (not "Gray Wagtail"; it's not a North American species), and European Golden Plover (not that dreadful hyphenated-capitalised "Golden-Plover"). Oh, and Pallas's Warbler for Phylloscopus proregulus, not "Lemon-rumped Warbler". And so on!

Actually on my version all the Grays was corrected to Grey :)
As for the other mentioned 'errors' I will not change until changed in the Clements. Next update is expected in October so lets see what they will bring out.

Good for you!

Of course Gray Catbird is correct ;)
