Reorganization

This article doesn't make sense to be organized in the way that it is. Labrador is part of continental North America and Newfoundland is an island. It would make far more sense listing which is common to each since the list will be pretty different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.161.195.2 (talk) 02:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect it is the way it is because the sources on birds of Canada divide them by province and Newfoundland and Labrador is a province. If you, or anyone, can find a good source which has separate lists for Newfoundland, the island, and Labrador on the continent, I'd be happy to help make the changes.
