To solve this problem, I created the file below (United_States_2014_JM). It contains North American species from combined 2014 Clement's, eBird, and ABA checklists which I then narrowed down to North American birds. In order to keep the list comprehensive, yet as short as possible, I only included the species that are found in The Sibley Guide to Birds (North America), 2nd edition. In addition to species, the file includes the following, which are available for reporting in eBird:
Spuhs: Genus or broad level identification - i.e. sparrow sp.
Slashes: Identification down to the level of two similar species - i.e. Long/Short-billed Dowitcher
ISSF or Identifiable Sub-specific group: Identifiable subspecies or group of subspecies - i.e. Mallard (Mexican)
Domestic: Domestic varieties - i.e. Mallard (domestic)
Forms: Distinctive forms that are not yet accepted - i.e. Red-tailed Hawk (Northern)
The above categories and more information can be found on eBird.
