We would like to thank you for making 2010 an exciting year for birding in Vermont. One new species was added to the state list, Eurasian Collared Dove was found in Norwich. A Forster's Tern nesting on Lake Champlain was the first state breeding record for this species. The Vermont Bird Records Committee met in October to review all the rare bird reports submitted in the past year. Please visit http://www.vtecostudies.org/vbrc/reports.htm to view a full report of all the species that were state records.

You can see the full list of Vermont birds, report rare sightings and download a field card checklist on the Vermont Bird Records Committee

web site.

Thank you for your reports. May 2011 bring many birds your way!
