The New Jersey Bird Records Committee exists to collect and maintain data pertaining to records of scarce or rare birds reported in the state of New Jersey. The goals of the Committee are summarized in an article written by Richard Crossley. If in doubt, e-mail the Secretary and ask. Almost any format is acceptable for a report, as long as appropriate details are included. You may use the web report form , or print out a text version of the form, type a narrative in your own words or write longhand, as you prefer.
Black ink makes it much easier to photocopy reports.
Witmer Stone's wonderful Bird Studies at Old Cape May is still required reading. For this and other standard references, see the basic New Jersey bibliography. The New Jersey Bird Records Committee is supported by the independent New Jersey Audubon Society.
