Greetings Florida Birders
The Florida Ornithological Society's Records Committee (FOSRC) met 19 January at the Florida Museum of Natural History. We added one species to the Official State List: Common Myna is considered an established exotic, based on a paper by Bill Pranty accepted for publication at North American Birds. That is number 502 for the State. The ABA -CLC will next vote on this.
We also accepted the second (Blountstown) and third (Jacksonville) records of Broad-billed Hummingbird for the State, and the second Anna's Hummingbird. Other decisions and deliberations will be posted in the minutes of that meeting on the FOS website, sometime in the next few months.
Keep the material coming into us. We're itching to see documentation for California Gull, Iceland Gulls, Razorbill, and whatever other review list species you can dig up.
Andy Kratter
Secretary, FOSRC
