New Birds on the Arizona List

This from Gary Rosenberg and the Arizona Birds Committee:

“The ABC has completed reviewing all records submitted during
2005 and 2006, and we will begin working on the “next” ABC Report
which will hopefully be published in 2008. Arizona birders will be
pleased to learn that the ABC has officially accepted the following
first state records: Black Turnstone, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Royal
Tern, Tufted Flycatcher, and Brown-chested Martin.”

Here is one of the photos taken by Gregg Rosenberg of the Patagonia Lake Brown-chested Martin, the third accepted record for the ABA Area.

One of the most exciting moments of my birding career: so far!
