I included both spring and fall reports. "Unrevewable" generally means that it was an older published sight record. "S&R" is a record from Stewart and Robbins, "Birds of Maryland and the District of Columbia", 1958. "USNM" means a US Museum of Natural History (i.e., the Smithsonian) specimen exists (but has not yet been reviewed by the committee).
