As President of the Texas Ornithological Society, sponsoring body of the Texas Records Bird Committee (TRBC), I want to personally thank each member for their dedicated work in a somewhat thankless job. I know these decisions are not easy to make, but they are made by volunteers, qualified individuals with equal autonomy to cast their vote on each record presented. Knowing the members of the TRBC and their dedication to Texas birding, I am certain they arrive at those decisions after careful consideration of all aspects of each record submitted. Thank you all, gentlemen.
