Greeting Calbirders,

As fall migration is winding down, I hope that you all got out and saw some good birds over the past few months. There were a number of reports on listservs and on eBird of California Bird Records Committee (CBRC)
review species . If you saw any of these, I encourage you to submit your documentation (written descriptions, photos, and/or audio recordings) to the CBRC. In particular, I have included a list below
for which the CBRC has received little or no documentation. If you have not submitted documentation to the CBRC previously and you dont know what to include, please visit the
CBRC website where you can find
submission guidelines as well as a
report form . One of the CBRCs primary purposes is to permanently maintain documentation of rare birds in order to better understand the status and distribution of birds in California, as well
as to preserve these records for future research. Your submission of documentation greatly facilitates the work of the CBRC in pursuing this goal.
