There are two recent developments from the BC Bird Records Committee to announce.
First, an interim BC Bird Records Committee Sightings Database is now available on this website.
Also, the Rare Bird Report Form for the submission of rare bird sightings is now even easier to use. The form is fillable on-line, and is submitted directly to the committee from the website.
