Changes made to the "Utah Birds" Documented Sightings List
After considering new information from David Wheeler's sightings list:
Note: For records before 1985 (non-Records-Committee records), if a
record was said to be questionable
on David's list (i.e. "sketchy documentation") it was
removed from the list and if a new sighting (or one thought
to be questionable) was listed on David's list as
being from a reliable source, then it was added to the list.
