SECOND REPORT OF THE HAWAII BIRD RECORDS COMMITTEE

Abstract

 This is the second report of the Hawaii Bird Records Committee (HBRC). From 2019 to 2024, the HBRC reviewed 37 reports involving 29 bird species, of which 34 reports of 26 species were accepted, two were rejected, and one required recirculation and is still under review. The accepted reports included 15 species new to the Hawaiian Islands, eight second records, one third record, and one sixth record. Two more species were added because of splits to taxa that had been recorded previously. Through 2024, the Hawaiian Islands bird checklist includes 355 species.
