  3. Sibley/Monroe World List of Bird Names:  These pages by Rolf de By contain a version of the now well-known, and much discussed world list of bird names by the late Charles G. Sibley and the late Burt L. Monroe, Jr. In essence, it is the names used in their 1990 Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World and its 1993 Supplement, which were later combined to become the Checklist.
