Illinois Ornithological Records Committee

About IORC

The Illinois Ornithological Records Committee (IORC), founded in 1985, evaluates the evidence for records of birds that are rare or unusual in Illinois. As a standing committee of the Illinois Ornithological Society, IORC strives to improve the quality of submitted ornithological field data in Illinois both through example and dissemination of pertinent information and techniques.

The members of IORC for 2024 are:

• Geoff Williamson (Secretary)
• Nathan Goldberg
• Steve Huggins
• Davida Kalina (Vice Secretary)
• Terry Walsh
• Kyle Wiktor
• Dan Williams

IORC is responsible for publishing and maintaining the official checklist of Illinois birds. Also, in the IOS journal Meadowlark, it publishes reports on records of rare birds, indicating whether or not the evidence warrants their acceptance as part of Illinois’s ornithological record. The Committee houses all bird records and evaluations of evidence thereof (including the evidence itself) in its archives at the Field Museum of Natural History, located in Chicago. Students and professional ornithologists are welcome to inquire regarding, or to review, any bird records housed there.

How to Document Rare Birds

Many resources are available on the internet that provide information and guidance about how to document rare birds. Some suggested resources for consultation are listed below.

• “How to Document Rare Birds” by Donna Dittmann and Greg Lasley (web version of an article that originally appearing in the American Birding Association’s magazine Birding, vol. 24, no. 3, pp. 145-159, June 1992)

Review List

IORC accepts for review bird records which, in general, do not occur annually in Illinois, or which are extremely rare in all but a few counties in the state. The committee also is interested in receiving documentation of other records of significance including first state nesting records, unusual dates or locations of occurrence, etc. The review list is based on the current checklist of Illinois state birds and additional rare species accepted since publication. Any species not included on the Illinois IORC checklist should be documented, as should observations involving any species considered extirpated in the state or extinct. The committee welcomes evidence* in the form of a written documentation, sketch, photograph, video or specimen for any of the following species:

Decisions regarding bird records since the 22nd IORC report

Information about IORC decisions for bird records since the 22nd IORC report will be provided below as it becomes available. The official reporting of decisions is via the published reports. The listing of decisions below may not be entirely complete and up-to-date, but IORC strives to have it be as comprehensive as possible. For each record we indicate the species or form, with number of individuals in parentheses if greater than one, followed by date or date range, location, and county. At the end, the record number is indicated in parentheses, followed by, for accepted records, names of the documenters.

The most recent update is shown first, followed by the collection of all decided records since the 22nd IORC report (including those in the most recent update).
