Adding Arizona Woodpecker to Bird Brain 5.0 If you wish to add Arizona Woodpecker to the Reference database, here's what to do. From the Reference menu, choose Edit Reference Birds. A window will open where you can add the new species. Click the New button at center top of the window. You'll see the window with nothing entered. Enter the following data: Tax Order: 3900.5 Letter Code: ARWO First Name: Arizona Last Name: Woodpecker Genus: Picoides Species: arizonae State/Province Range: AZ Reference Notes: Split from Strickland's Woodpecker, of Mexico. Scroll down below the Caution! sign and check the ABA Bird box. Click the Enter button. AFTERYOU MAKE THE ABOVE CHANGES: If you have entered sightings for Strickland's Woodpecker which now properly belong to Arizona Woodpecker, you will probably want to visit those records and change the Letter Code from STWO to ARWO. When you Tab out of the Letter Code field, the name of the species will change to Arizona Woodpecker. Then press the Enter button. If you have recorded sightings which you believe are truly Strickland's Woodpecker (in Mexico), just leave them alone. They are already correct. The easiest way to then update your lifelists is to then rebuild your life lists to update your data. From the Records menu, choose Rebuild Life Lists... Click Rebuild all 6 Lists. This may take a while if you have many records. NOW DEMOTE STRICKLAND'S FROM ABA STATUS: In the Edit Reference Birds Window, click Tax Order. Press Command-G. In the long skinny field that opens at the top of the window, type 3900. Press Tab. The Strickland's Woodpecker comes up. Scroll down below the Caution! sign and UNcheck the ABA Bird box.
