{{Reflist}} with {{rp}}. Reflist has the advantage that you can add columns or widths, but in the othernhand, it's not hard to convert <references> when columns are needed. {{refn}} is good for explanatory notes, because it can have embedded <ref>s. <ref name="" /> has the advantage of automatic insertion via the toolbar. {{R|name1|name2|etc.}} is nice and compact, I wonder why the documentation for {{R}} says not to mix it with <ref>?

Abstract mentions "tribe Aquilini", proposes genus Nisaetus.

Also: "Hieraaetus fasciatus/spilogaster are closest to Aquila verreauxii and should be merged with that genus. Wahlberg’s Eagle H. wahlbergi, formerly placed in Aquila, is part of a clade including three small Hieraaetus species (pennatus, ayresii, and morphnoides)."

The abstract says "These papers [from the Taxonomic Subcommittee of the BOU Records Committee] are available online at http://www.bou.org.uk/recbrlst.html...". They appear to have been moved to http://www.bou.org.uk/british-list/taxonomy/ ?

Summary: this paper summarizes taxonomic recommendations from 2000–2005, and in an appendix also from 1977–2000. Of relevance to raptors are: TSC3 (Sangster, below), moving Bonelli's and booted eagles; and AERC1, splitting steppe/tawny eagles and eastern/Spanish imperial eagles.

[TSC3] Sangster, George; Collinson, J. Martin; Helbig, Andreas J.; Knox, Alan G.; Parkin, David T. (10 October 2005). "Taxonomic recommendations for British birds: third report". Ibis. 147 (4): 821–826. doi:10.1111/j.1474-919X.2005.00483.x.

Recommends placing Bonelli's and Booted Eagles into Aquila, but is silent on the other Hieraaetus species. This does not mean they recommend keeping H. morphnoides, H. (m.) weiskeii, etc. in Hieraaetus, because it only deals with Western Palearctic species.

Recommends splitting Indian Spotted Eagle A. (p.) hastata from Lesser Spotted Eagle A. pomarina.

Also moving falcons Falconiformes in sequence to sit between the woodpeckers and parrots.

Online database of all bird species, with names and higher-level classifications (order to genus). Has taxonomies of Peters, Sibley, and Gill. In addition Penhallurick gives his own classification based on Hackett (2008), Yuri (2013), and other sources.

Unfortunately, this website may not be around much longer, as the author was diagnosed with MND in 2013 and his health is declining rapidly.

Links to some significant pages in the site:

• Rationale for Synonymy. Essay on the need for a database of synonyms with citations.
• Family List. List of orders, families and tribes. Clicking an entry retrieves a list of included species. He gives 21 entries for Accipitridae, 3 Falconidae, and 11 Strigidae; with 1 each for Cathartidae, Sagittariidae, and Pandionidae.
• The Sibley and Monroe list, since I don't have access to the original.

Most surprising is that he has split Accipiter and grouped one part with Circus:

• Accipitrinae: Erythrotriorchis, Megatriorchis, and Accipiter (10 spp. incl. sparrow hawk A. nisus and sharp-shinned hawk)
• Asturinae
  • Asturini, Astur (7 spp., incl. northern goshawk, Cooper's hawk)
  • Circaetini (query error, should be Circini?), Circus (13 spp.)
• Tachyspizinae, Tachyspiza (30 spp. of sparrowhawks and goshawks, incl. shikra, besra, levant sparrowhawk)

Which means he has also split off the other Accipitrinae:

• Hieraspizinae, Hieraspiza (tiny hawk H. superciliosis, semicollared hawk H. collaris)
• Kaupifalconinae, Kaupifalco monogrammicus lizard buzzard
• Lophospizinae, Lophospiza (crested goshawk L. trivirgatus, Sulawesi goshawk L. griseiceps)
• Melieraxinae (eastern Melierax poliopterus, pale M. canorus, and dark M. metabates chanting-goshawks; Gabar goshawk Micronisus gabar; long-tailed hawk Urotriorchis macrourus)

He seems to be following Boyd in splitting Accipiter, but Boyd keeps all the genera (except Harpagus and Lophospiza) in a single family.

Falconidae have also been updated based on Fuchs, Johnson & Mindel (2014 in press, DOI 10.1016/j.ympev.2014.08.010). Polihierax has been split into two monotypic genera, and Falconinae into two tribes: pygmy falcon P. semitorquatus with the Microhierax falconets in tribe Polihieracini Peters 1931; and white-rumped falcon Neohierax insignis with Falco in tribe Falconini Leach 1820.

Boyd recognizes three subfamilies: Herpetotherinae, Caracarinae, Falconinae.

Checklist versions: 2003 (not available), 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2012.
Recommendations: 2010, 2011, 2012. The 2010 recommendations doc. also includes the 2003 recommendations.

"The species sequence (the higher-level systematics i.e. the family and order names and the order of the species in the species list) has generally not been addressed by the AERC TAC. This document and the corresponding list of birds of the Western Palearctic thus still follow the sequence in Voous (1973; 1977a; b) except for a single decision [Galloanseres]" AERC TAC Recommendations July 2010.

Note the TAC recommends merging Hieraaetus into Aquila. (July 2010)

2011. No recommendations concerning raptors.
2012. Crested Honey Buzzard Pernis ptilorhynchus rather than ptilorhyncus.

Here by the by I cannot but reflect upon the Author of a late English Book, entituled, The Gentlemans Recreation. ... I do not blame him for Epitomizing, but for suppressing his Authors names, and publishing their Works as his own, insomuch that not only the Vulgar, but even Learned men have been deceived by him, so that they have looked upon him as a considerable Writer, of extraordinary skill in such Arts and Exercises, and one that had advanced and improved them. By the way therefore it may not be amiss to caution Learned men that they be not too hasty nor lavish in their public commendations of new Books before they have taken the pains to compare them with former Treatises on those Subjects, lest they render themselves ridiculous by publishing those for advancers of knowledge, who are indeed meer Plagiaries and Compilers of other mens Works. -- John Ray, Preface

• Order III ("Omni hujus Ordinis Aves rapaces sunt et carnivorae.")
  • Sectio Diurnae (Diurnes)
    • Genus Accipiter (l'Epervier) – hawks and falcons
    • Genus Aquila (l'Aigle)
    • Genus Vultur (le Vautour)

Brisson also gives Anglais names for many species – good source of mid-18th-century common names.

(Raptors start at p.307.)

Volume 1 (1770) covers she birds of prey.

Note that Buffon distinguishes between true eagles and sea eagles, he also mentions Aristotle's eagle species (p.44).

Buffon also instigated a set of colour plates, issued in 42 cahiers of 24 hand-colored plates each between 1765 and 1783, drawn and engraved by F.N. Martinet under the supervision of E.L. Daubenton. ref: Internet archive

Vigors, Nicholas Aylward (June 1824). "Some observations on the nomenclature of ornithology; particularly with reference to the admission of new genera". The Zoological Journal. 1 (2): 180–201.

"It becomes necessary either on the one hand, to make Falco a family instead of a genus, and to admit new generick names for those divisional groups of it, which possess a naturally distinctive character : or on the other hand to retain the name as generick, but with an awkward and unartistlike reference to its sections or subgenera, — a process whereby the simplicity and brevity so conspicuous in the Linnean nomenclature is necessarily violated." pp. 190–191 [1]

"in the title of his great group, the term family being substituted for that of genus ; while his own gencrick term Falco is still retained for that division of his group which he meant to be typical in it. and which, even thus limited, contains more species at the present day, than what constituted his original genus." p. 191

Vigors, Nicholas Aylward (October 1824). "On the groups of the Falconidæ". Sketches in Ornithology. The Zoological Journal. 1 (3): 312–346.

Untitled introduction starts on p. 308 [2].

Section "On the groups of the Falconidæ" p. 312 [3]. Vigors divides the family into divisions or stirpes: the "noble" hawks (Stirps Accipitrina) and falcons (Stirps Falconina); the "ignoble" buzzards (Stirps Buteonina), kites (Stirps Milvina) and eagles (Stirps Aquilina).

Some good quotes to be had here on the nature of the kites and eagles, though the latter is quite long. He then goes on to describe the genera in detail.

He points out that Pliny separated the raptors into Aquilae and Accipitres (pp. 326, 344); and that Aristotle into aetoi, hierakes (ἱερακες), and iktinoi (pp. 328, 344-345). He asserts that Aristotle's hierakes included the hawks, buzzards and falcons.

Thomoson gives the meaning of ἰκτῖνος as "kite", i.e. common or black kites. (A glossary of Greek birds, 1895, pp. 68-69 [4])
