Subject: [sbcobirding] County Bird List Update - 511 Species
All,

The California Bird Records Committee has endorsed the record of CRESTED AUKLET found at Pt. Arguello on Vandenberg SFB in late July 2025. This adds one new bird species to the county bird list. Interestingly, it was considered to be a different Crested Auklet from the one found days earlier at Southeast Farallon Island.

I have updated the county bird list that I maintain at sbcobirding ( http://sbcobirding.com/countybirdlist.html ) to reflect the new total.

Good Birding,

Jamie M. Chavez
Santa Maria, CA
