IBRC Species "Review List"

Review Species...

The Idaho Bird Records Committee is charged, in part, with maintaining a scientifically valuable accounting of both species and species' occurrence in the state of Idaho. Our knowledge and understanding of the status and distribution of certain rare or unusual species in the state is very limited. This Committee solicits documentation of sightings of these "Review Species" from the birding community and general population at large. By providing this documentation, you are better able to help the Committee maintain the integrity of the state database. A more accurate picture of the status and distribution of these rarer species within the state will then emerge.

For which species is documentation requested? Sightings of ANY species listed in the list below should be documented as thoroughly as possible, and the resulting Rare Bird Report Form for that sighting should be submitted to the IBRC Secretary.

Many past sightings of species on this review list were not documented sufficiently to be reviewed or endorsed by the IBRC; indeed the Committee was inactive for a period of time. But reports simply deemed "likely valid" can still show valuable occurrence trends within our borders, even if the documention of those reports failed to meet the threshold for IBRC endorsement. Click the species name in the list below to see a comprehensive tally that contains ALL reports -- even those considered "likely valid" as well as those records that have undergone IBRC review.

The sequence of this list is based on the 7th edition of the AOU Checklist, 45th supplement. The Review List was last updated by the Idaho Bird Records Committee on 28 January 2007. More updates are imminent. IBRC members: ______ and _____ comprise the Checklist Committee.
