72:1642000-04-15Duluth Twp.St. Louis(record #2000-25, vote 0-7). Although the description of a “black necklace and bright yellow throat and belly” would seem to be consistent with this species, the date is three to four weeks earlier than this species normally arrives in northern Minnesota. For such an extremely early date, it was unanimously felt the documentation is not complete enough since it includes no description of the bird's back, wings, or tail, and it is unclear if there was an eye ring.
