Hello birders,
The Vermont Bird Records Committee held its annual meeting on 11 November 2017 at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies. The 37th annual report of the VBRC covers the evaluation of 46 records involving 28 species and 3 subspecies or ‘identifiable subspecific forms’. The full story with a link to the full report can be read on Vermont eBird at http://ebird.org/content/vt/news/thirty-seventh-annual-report-of-the-vermont-bird-records-committee/.
The Committee sincerely thanks all of you who took the time to submit these records.
The Vermont Bird Checklist is based on more than a century of documented observations like these

Reports that will expand this knowledge base are encouraged and appreciated. Consult the updated bird
