IBRC Documentation Forms

The Indiana Bird Records Committee (IBRC) actively solicits documentation from all Hoosiers. Many resources are available for writing a great record documentation. These forms are to be used for all birds in Indiana that require documentation.

Refer to the Review List for a complete list of birds that the IBRC solicits documentation for. Beginning in 2018, eBird checklists are eligible rare bird documentation forms, when forwarded to the chair. Such checklists should include standard documentation normally found on the official documentation form (e.g., detailed description, habitat, elimination of similar species, etc.).
