Supplemental bird list (as of october 2007)
The following species are not on the offical state list of Montana birds for reasons explained after each species' name. For each of the modern reports, evidence was convincing, but the report was not accepted because of the conservative stance taken by the Committee on adding new species to the state list. See Part XI(B) of the Bylaws for more information on the state list.
