Hi all -
I?m happy to announce that the latest WBRC published report [our 10th] is out and available in the latest issue of Western Birds. This issue covers rare bird sightings considered by the committee for the 2010-2013 period. It also include a nice collection of photos from some of our state?s familiar photographers.

If you are a member of Western Field Ornithologists, you should be receiving a paper copy of this article with the latest issue of Western Birds, arriving in the mail any day now [and check out the cover photo on that issue - Gregg Thompson?s Wilson Plover photo].

If not, you can download a copy of this and all previous WBRC articles [#1-9] from the WOS website ? if you want to get a better sense of the status and distribution of the rarest birds that visit our state, these articles offer great info.

Here?s the link:

Thanks to everyone who continues to send in rare sightings and help us build a better understanding of the birds of the region.
