The Records of the Oregon Bird Records Committee

through April 2015

Harry Nehls, Secretary

Oregon Bird Records Committee

2736 S.E. 20th. Ave., Portland, Oregon 97202

The Oregon Bird Records Committee (OBRC) was organized in 1978 to collect, review, and maintain records on rare birds found in Oregon. The OBRC became a Committee of Oregon Field Ornithologists (OFO) when OFO was organized in 1980.

The OBRC consists of 9 members and 6 alternates from throughout Oregon. Members and alternates are elected by their peers. Members serve staggered 3-year termsand alternates serve 1-year terms. The OBRC votes on most records by email or at an annual meeting.

The OBRC uses the taxonomy and nomenclature of the American Ornithologists’ Union 1998 Check-List (as supplemented).

Each Record considered by the OBRC is assigned a unique Record Number. The first 3 digits is the AOU number for the species; the second 2 digits is the year in which the Record was obtained; and the third 2 digits is the number of the Record for that species in the order in which it was received by the OBRC Secretary. A missing number in the sequence means that the OBRC has not yet completed its review of that record; some records have been deferred until more information has been obtained.

Information for each Record also includes where the Record was obtained, the date(s), the plumage or age of the bird when appropriate, and abbreviations for persons submitting the Record. Other remarks have been added as appropriate. A list of contributors is presented at the end.

The Oregon Bird Records Committee thanks the following organizations for having made financial contributions to help with the its expenses: Audubon Society of Corvallis, Cape Arago Audubon Society, Central Oregon Audubon Society, Florence Audubon Society, Grande Ronde Bird Club, Grant County Bird Club, Kalmiopses Audubon Society, Klamath Basin Audubon Society, Lane County Audubon Society, Portland Audubon Society, Rogue Valley Audubon Society, Salem Audubon Society, Southern Willamette Ornithological Club, Umpqua Valley Audubon Society, and Yaquina Birders and Naturalists.

The following is a listing of all the records reviewed by the OBRC to April 2013
