A full report of recent actions by the Tennessee Bird Records Committee will be included in a future issue of 'The Migrant' but I want to make everyone aware that the Committee has accepted records which will add 5 new species to the Official Checklist of the Birds of Tennessee. These are... Mottled Duck, submitted by Mike Todd Thayer's Gull, submitted by Mike Todd Inca Dove, submitted by Theresa and Danny Graham Townsend's Solitaire, submitted by Dan and Laurie Mooney Golden-Crowned Sparrow, submitted by Keith and Peggy Kunkel also, California Gull, submitted by Mike Todd, is moved off the 'Provisional' list. Photos that were submitted of all of these species can now be found on the TBRC photo site at http://www.tnbirds.org/TRBC The online checklist does not yet reflect these additions or recent taxonomy changes from the AOU but we hope to have a fully revised Official Checklist available soon. Thank you to all who submitted reports.
