Since Marshall (1959) first published unusual bird records at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Harney County, Oregon, several other reports have appeared (Kridler and Marshall 1962, Kridler 1965, Littlefield and McLaury 1973). The purpose of this report is to present data on species that had not been recorded on the refuge before 1973.
Formerly, most species new to the refuge were collected when possible and placed in either the refuge museum or the U.S. National Museum. Changes in refuge policy and visitor attitudes now preclude collection. The following accounts are for species new to the refuge since the last published report (Littlefield and McLaury 1973).
