The California Bird Records Committee solicits information on all occurrences in California of the 164
   species on this Review List, as well as species unrecorded in California. In general, review species
   average four or fewer occurrences per year in California, and have been recorded fewer than 100
   times. Documentation should be sent to Michael M. Rogers, CBRC Secretary, P.O. Box 340, Moffett
   Field, CA 94035-0340 (or by e-mail at mrogers@nas.nasa.gov). Documentation concerning the
   potential establishment of exotic species not currently on the state list is also sought.
