The following list contains about 170 (one-hundred and seventy) species of birds that need documentation in Utah. These birds range from accidental and occasional vagrants, to annual or semi-annual rare migrants or visitors, to poorly known resident breeders and migrants, as well as a variety of other statuses that make them noteworthy.
You won't find a status of ACCEPTED or REJECTED here. This database is just a list of reports and the documentation supporting them. We leave it up to the individual to make their own decisions based on the data provided, and have included the ability to comment on each report for discussion, clarification, to answer questions, etc.
Do you have a sighting not on this list? Have you recently seen something rare and want it to be inlcuded in the database? Although we monitor a number of lists and eBird, some reports just slip through the cracks. Fill out a simple form with a few details about your sighting and it will be included with the rest.
This list contains species submitted by birders, input by others, or entered by site admin in the past 90 days. These reports will show up in the entire database tab as well, but are here while they are fresh so that others msy take a look, comment, and discuss the sighting.
