it looks like this one was committed, and causing quite a bit of a mess because Double-crested and many "Phalacrocorax" were not also committed at the same time. Lots of cormorant observations previously RG got bumped up to family level.

@henicorhina That would've happened anyway, even if I had done things right (btw, sorry about that @loarie, where was it mentioned we were holding off on these swaps? I checked flags and forum for such discussion prior). If the initial id is contrary to the community, then it needs 3 ids to make it RG. Similar situation happened here where the id was Buteo before I agreed with Swainson's Hawk and give the obs its third and RG id. I checked out unidentified family level ids in Phalacrocoridae and they're all cases of the initial id being genus Phalacrocorax. They were RG before because the genus was the "correct" identification, it just wasn't as precise, so all it needed was two ids to be RG. Now that Phalacrocorax is considered a disagreeing id, it needs that 3rd identifier.
