CHANGES TO THE NYSARC REVIEW LIST 
The New York State Avian Records Committee announces the follow¬ 
ing changes to the Review List. 
Reports of the following species from anywhere in New York State 
will now be reviewed: 
Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) 
This eye-catching shorebird is elevated to a full review species (i.e. 
anywhere in the New York State). Over the last decade, the number of 
reports of Black-necked Stilt have declined significantly, with few recent 
recorded individuals staying for more than a day or so. There are very 
few records away from Long Island. Although identification is relatively 
simply (except perhaps roosting birds), the decline in the number of 
sightings has prompted the committee to request descriptions from all 
Regions of the state. 
Thick-billed Murre (Una lomvia) 
Formerly a review species for upstate New York only, the committee 
now requests descriptions of all coastal reports including those seen dur¬ 
ing pelagic trips. We have noted a sharp decline in the number of reports 
over the past decade, even from offshore pelagic trips, suggesting a sig¬ 
nificant change in status. Separation from immature Razorbill (Alca torda)
