The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World is a book by Richard Howard and Alick Moore which presents a list of the bird species of the world. It was the first single-volume world bird list to include subspecies names, and until the publication of the 5th edition of James Clements' Checklist of Birds of the World was the only one to do so.
Among them is the family Cathartidae (New World vultures) which the American Ornithological Society (AOS), the Clements taxonomy, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World place in its own order, Cathartiformes.
We have these birds under Falconiformes. New World Vultures (Cathartidae) All at correct IOC name. Secretarybird (Sagittariidae) Now at IOC name. Ospreys (Pandionidae) Two entries are subspeices at WP; Kites, Hawks & Eagles (Accipitridae) We list the IOC's Nisaetus kelaarti, Legge's Hawk-Eagle, as a subspecies of the Mountain Hawk-eagle.
The family's taxonomy is unsettled; the Clements taxonomy lists 235 species [2] and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World lists 254 [3]. This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.
