176:392003-09-152003-11-06DelanoWright(record #2003-80, vote 10- 0). All ten MOURC members vote on potential first state records. The presence of this individual at a feeder was first made known by a television news broadcast. In order to rescue it, the homeowners eventually attracted the bird indoors on 6 November, after it apparently had been present since September. However, the bird later died in a rehabilitation facility in early December, and the specimen has been preserved. Additional details on this unprecedented record will be published in The Loon.
