OBRC Annual Summaries
About the Oregon Bird Records Committee (OBRC)
The OBRC was organized in 1978 to collect, review, and maintain records on rare birds found in Oregon. The OBRC became a Committee of Oregon Birding Association when the association was first organized in 1980 under the name Oregon Field Ornithologists.
The OBRC uses the taxonomy and nomenclature of the American Ornithologists Union 1998 Checklist (as supplemented). Information for each record 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 OBRC consists of nine members, and alternates, elected by their peers. Members and alternates meet at least once a year.
