\nWe have some code here for managing conversions between taxonomies (eg, ebird2021 and xeno-canto). It looks like we haven't added conversions for ebird2023 yet; if anyone is interested in helping land that, I'll be happy to provide guidance.
Conversion can be tricky: you have occasional new species (no conversion possible), merges (things previously considered distinct species relabeled as subspecies), and splits (things that were previously subspecies recognized as distinct species). Our approach is to try to maintain a version-controlled mapping, so at least we can write down our rationales and update as needed.
