Perhaps it would be useful, at this point, to provide SBBers with the 
link
to the Western Field Ornithologists (WFO) website where they can find
out more about the California Bird Records Committee (CBRC), which is
a part of the WFO. I don't think everyone knows about this organization,
or the committee's function and what they are looking for in 
documentation
of a rare bird sighting. Not all rare birds require the kind of 
documentation
being mentioned for something as rare as bird in question. You can find
out what birds do require documentation for consideration by the 
committee
and some of the birding community.

WFO website <http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/>

CBRC page <http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/cbrc/index.html>

Once you've figured out the level of rarity and documentation that 
particular
sightings may require, you may want to share the information on the
appropriate email lists. You can find a compendium of the California 
email
lists at Joe Morlan's California Birding Website

<http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~jmorlan/>

Follow the California Birding link.

Now, get out there, go birding, and, above all, enjoy yourself!
