 Last
Updated 8/13/07
The New York State Avian Records Committee (NYSARC) will review
reports of:
1. Any species new to New York State (not included in the current checklist).
2. Any addition to the list of species proven to nest in New York State
(not having an '*' in the current checklist).
3. Any of the following species, according to the notations:
- N Documentation should be submitted to NYSARC for observations
anywhere within New York State.
- U Documentation should be submitted to NYSARC only when
observed in upstate New York.
- D Documentation should be submitted to NYSARC only when
observed in downstate New York.
- A Documentation should be submitted to NYSARC only when
observed outside the Adirondacks.
- S Spring observations (especially upstate) should be submitted
to NYSARC.
4. Reports of rarely-documented subspecies (for example, Audubon's Warbler Dendroica
coronata auduboni) or extreme out-of-season records (for example,
wintering Veery, Catharus fuscescens), may also be reviewed
at the committee's discretion. In such cases, documentation should
be accompanied by a cover-letter outlining the potential significance
of the record.
If you are in doubt as to whether a record for a species that is not

to contact the NYSARC chairperson at the address given below.
All documentation should be submitted to
the New York State Avian Records Committee at:
