The Delaware State List of Bird Species consist of the following 405 species of birds that have been accepted for Delaware by the Delaware Bird Records Committee (DBRC) as of January 1, 2010. We request documentation for the 83 boldfaced species marked with an asterisk - this is the Delaware Review List. Please note the subspecies and the reports that are presently being reviewed by the Committee in the Addendum. All of these and any other species not on the list currently require documentation. Reports should be sent to:
