Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of 
Melanitta. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.

This should be done.
By the way, this is getting really weird now, with both M. fusca deglandi and M. deglandi existing, as well as most North American and Asian records still being M. fusca.
This taxon change is now (or soon will be) obsolete, as NACC have now split into three not two species, and Clements will presumably follow
Clement's is splitting deglandi and stejnegeri
Probably makes sense to do two splits sequentially, so have drafted a new taxon split for deglandi
Any reason not to commit this?
