| 70:44 | 1997-04-10 | Faribault | Rice | (record #97- 40, vote 0-7). The observer was apparently unaware this would be the earliest spring record ever for this species, and the documentation was apparently only written from memory three months after the sighting. The description does not preclude Eastern Phoebe, since the only feature mentioned to eliminate that species was the presence of wing bars; however, contrary to the information in most field guides, phoebes often have noticeable wing bars. There is also nothing in the brief description (which makes no mention of the presence or absence of an eye ring) to eliminate one of the Empidonax flycatchers. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 70:44 | 1997-04-23 | Lake Louise State Park | Mower | (record # 97-32, vote 1-6). This bird was only heard and never seen, and it would represent a very early migrant during a colder-than-normal spring. Although the song heard was well described by the experienced observer, the majority felt that the possibility of a vocalizing starling or mockingbird being involved is not entirely precluded. | Not Accepted | ||||
