Hi folks,
The VBRC 44th annual report is now available. You can check it out and get
links to it and other information on the eBird Vermont blog at
https://ebird.org/region/US-VT/post/the-vermont-bird-records-committee-2024-annual-report
or at the Vermont Atlas of Life at https://val.vtecostudies.org/newsfeed/

Highlights in the report include the state’s first state records of
Hammond’s Flycatcher (Empidonax hammondii) and Black-throated Gray Warbler
(Septophaga nigrescens). Also of note was the state’s second accepted
record for Ruff (Calidrix pugnax), last accepted in 1991, and the second
accepted record of Mexican Violetear (Colibri thalassinus), last accepted
in 2021.

The Vermont checklist of birds has also been updated at

by the VBRC.

Thanks,
Kent
