The Virginia Avian Records Committee
Welcome to the official website of the Virginia Avian Records Committee
(VARCOM), a committee of the Virginia Society of Ornithology, publisher of the new "Gold Book" (at right), which is available in early May 2007. The links below will connect you to pages
that treat all aspects of the functioning of the committee, to the official State List of the birds documented
to have occurred in Virginia, and to the Review List of species that require documentation to be included in the state's
ornithological archives. We hope you enjoy exploring these pages and that you'll be inspired to add your sightings of
Review Species to the state archives! Please contact the Secretary with any questions or comments. The subadult male
