Order of sections edit

I think that the sections should be organized in some manner, as I could not determine how they were organized. I would suggest that they are alphabetized by order then family. Scotteaton92 (talk) 18:45, 13 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Scotteaton92: Lists of birds are usually in taxonomic sequence. I don't know enough about birds to say that is true for this article, but I believe it is the intent of the "List of birds of ..." series and those lists are generally in the same order.

@SchreiberBike: Thanks. I may take a look to see if they are in the correct order. Scotteaton92 (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.

Revise the references and text in the introduction.
Revise multiple families' common names per Clements.
