This is the Southeastern CA weekly RBA summary. Birds in CAPS were not on our last report. We want to draw your attention to these. California Bird Record Committee Review Species. In general, birds that are on the weekly summary are those that are classified as at least rare in Birds of Southern California by Garrett and Dunn.
Rarity can be regional or seasonal.
For example, a nuthatch reported at the Salton Sea, where it is rare, may be on the summary. That same bird reported from the San Bernardino Mountains, where it is common, would not be. A sparrow reported as a rarity in Riverside in July, may be common there in December. These updates include many bird reports that don't appear on the weekly summary. Reports can be sent to this address as well.
