Guide to Documenting Rare Birds in Tennessee

In 1987, Stedman and Robinson wrote a comprehensive guide to documenting bird sightings for The Migrant which can be found here.  The guidelines presented in this article still hold true, particularly for the Rare Bird Reporting Form which is virtually identical to the one used today.  Those wishing to submit documentation of a species on the Review List to the TBRC are referred to this article for instructions.

Documentation submitted to the TBRC should be sent to the current Secretary:

K. Dean Edwards, 1615 Meadow Chase Ln, Knoxville TN 37931; kde@utk.edu.

See a recent copy of The Migrant or The MIgrant web page for contact information for the current regional editors of the seasonal reports.
