SEVENTEENTH REPORT OF THE CALIFORNIA BIRD RECORDS COMMITTEE: 1991 RECORDS

Abstract

A concise overview of the California Bird Records Committee (hereafter "CBRC" or "the Committee") has not been published in many years, save for a brief sketch by Patten (1991). Therefore, this report begins with a bit of history and background, if only to inform the newest generation of field ornithologists who may not be entirely familiar with the Committee's functions and goals.
