What is the EORC for?

The Egyptian Ornithological Rarities Committee was launched in January 2010, to become the only adjudicator of rare bird records in Egypt. The EORC will maintain the checklist of birds recorded in
Egypt, with the checklist published in 1989 by Goodman & Meininger in the ‘Birds of Egypt’ (BOE) as a starting point.

Any addition to or deletion from this list is adjudicated by the EORC, as well as any record of species with less than 10 Egyptian records (a formal list of such species is available on the website).

The EORC is composed of 9 voting members plus a secretary you can know the voting board from here 
The updated checklist of the Birds of Egypt is available here
A form to submit your rarity records is available here.
Please send all available details and documentation (including all photos) with your rarity form. Note that sending the photos to EORC includes the right for EORC to possibly publish these photos in EORC reports (and exclusively in EORC reports).

We do hope to receive your reports on the rare birds in Egypt!
