The Vermont Bird Records Committee (VBRC) held its 35th annual meeting in
November. The VBRC reviewed 39 detailed reports of rare, out-of-season, and
rare nesting species submitted by birdwatchers. Two new species of birds
were discovered in Vermont as well as many other notable records. You can
read all about it on the VCE blog at

We thank the entire Vermont birding community for your willingness to
document these rare sightings and your efforts to improve our understanding
of the distribution and abundance of birds in Vermont. Your birding prowess
continues to add new knowledge about the distribution, abundance, and
migration patterns of birds in the region. Please consider adding all of
our bird sightings to Vermont eBird, a project of the Vermont Atlas of Life.
