Review List
IORC accepts for review bird records which, in general, do not occur annually in Illinois, or which are extremely rare in all but a few counties in the state. The committee also is interested in reviewing other records of significance including first state nesting records, unusual dates or locations of occurrence, etc. The review list is based on the current draft of the Illinois Checklist being prepared by IORC. Any species not included on the Illinois IORC checklist or not listed in the Birds of Illinois (Bohlen 1989) should be documented. The committee welcomes evidence+ in the form of a written documentation, sketch, photograph, video or specimen for any of the following species:
