Abstract

This report contains 154 records of 63 species, documented by 109 contributors. Only 18 records are unaccepted, for an acceptance rate of 88.4%, the highest since 1975. Particularly encouraging is the high number of contributors. In fact, the ratio of total contributors to total records is 0.71, the highest since the committee began. This ratio, I believe, reflects a realization on the part of many birders of the value and importance of participating in the committee review process.
