Michigan Bird Records Committee Searchable Database

This search engine queries all records recognized by the MBRC; searches can only be made for species currently on the MBRC Review List

Disclaimer : All data are unofficial unless verified by the secretary. Any search results should not be considered exhaustive; regular updates will occur.

Instructions : Searches can be made by entering all or part of a species name or county name. For the most restrictive output, type in the complete species name rather than a fragment (e.g. 'Mew Gull' instead of 'Gull'); spelling is important. For common names which include an apostrophe, an error message will result unless you change the single apostrophe to two single, unspaced, apostrophes. For example, to search for Townsend's Warbler records type in 'Townsend''s Warbler'. For unidentified frigatebirds type 'fregata', for unidentified sulids use 'sulid', for unidentified White-faced/Glossy Ibises use 'Plegadis', and for unidentified Western/Clark's Grebes use 'Aechmophorus'. Leaving the box blank and hitting enter will reveal all records in the database.
