Across the three discs

The work was published on three discs — Disc 2 in 2001, Disc 3 in 2006 and Disc 1 in 2011. Where they differ, that is a difference between historical releases, and it is never merged away. The 2011 disc is not treated as correcting the earlier ones.

Which discs list this bird

Disc 2 · 2001 — not in this disc's bird list
Disc 3 · 2006 — in this disc's bird list
Disc 1 · 2011 — not in this disc's bird list

How that was established

Disc 3 · 2006: aux_nonzero

The disc's own record fields that place the bird on its list: a non-empty entry in the species table, and the byte that marks it as selected on a local checklist.

The Disc 3 release carries an account for this bird, but the 2011 Disc 1 revision no longer includes it (a release difference).

The work's own taxonomy

The discs carried three parallel name schemes. All three are shown as recovered; none is a modern taxonomy and none has been updated.
