Hello Nevada Birders!
I am again writing to you all about the NBRC. At the end of 2024, the committee voted to reinstate 34 species back to the state review list. The complete list can be found here: https://www.gbbo.org/nevada-review-list. This list, by default, includes anything not yet seen in the sate, but we don't go to the trouble of listing those thousands of species.
In our process of reinstating these 34 species, I found over 200 records that were confirmed on ebird. The committee voted to review these and add them to the NBRC database. It would be immensely helpful to me if anyone that has seen anything on our current review list would please submit old sightings to the NBRC. These records go back as far as ebird has been around. Most of these 34 species were reviewed at one time and removed from review, but some, such as the Red Knot, were never reviewed, therefore prior to 2024 had no entries in the NBRC database.
You can find the current, up-to-date list of all records submitted to the committee here: https://gbboinfo.org/nbrc/FullReportDescending.htm. This list can be sorted alphabetically, by taxonomy, and by NBRC ID number (which are sequential based on submission date). I would be very grateful if those of you that have seen review species would consider submitting those to the NBRC. You can use this web form here to submit: https://www.gbbo.org/submit-sightings-1
In the meantime, we will be creating records and saving photos from ebird, but because there is no involvement from original observers, we will not have permission to use photos (display on web, publish in reports, etc) And the name displayed on the website will be listed as "collected from ebird". For these reasons, among others, it is always more ideal if the actual observer submits their sightings to us.
P.S. Stay tuned for the announcement of GBBO's annual rare bird recap presentation, when I will run through all of the species reviewed by the NBRC this past year, and other relevant NBRC updates.
Thanks everyone and good birding!
