review species (rare birds)
review species (as of april 2010)
The following 103 species are on the State List but are scarce enough (fewer than 20 records) to require that a rare bird report be submitted for any sighting EXCEPT for locations noted in parentheses for a particular species (QLL = quarter-latilong, LL = latilong). The MBRC reviews such records before they can be included in Montana Bird Distribution. Any species not on the Official State Bird List also needs documentation. Species not previously documented in the state will be added to the list only if the MBRC accepts written accounts from two independent observers, or if the record is verified by a photograph or specimen.
Please send your Rare Bird Report Form to Montana Audubon, P.O. Box 595, Helena, MT 59624, or preferably to Jeff Marks at jeff17_marks@msn.com
