This report summarizes records received and evaluated by the Committee for the calendar years 1990-2001. A total of 510 submissions were received by the Committee during the period, 365 were circulated for evaluation, and 304 were accepted. Record submissions are assigned a sequential number in the order in which they are received with the year (of receipt) as a prefix. Not all submissions that receive a number are circulated. Birds are listed in phylogenetic order under each of two categories: Records Accepted and Records Rejected. Taxonomy and nomenclature follow the Seventh Edition A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds (1998) and all subsequent supplements.
The KBRC record number follows the scientific name, with the number of individuals seen, date(s) of observation, locality, observer(s) documenting the record, any supporting physical evidence, and any significant change in status. Rejected records have the observer(s) names omitted and a brief explanation as to the reason for rejection.
