62:134 | 1990-02-28 | Eden Prairie | Hennepin | (vote 3-4). This identification by an observer experienced with this species may well have been correct, but the sketchy description only mentions "short, stubby wings" and "peculiar flight antics," with nothing said about the bird's plumage or bill length. In addition, the observation was made without binoculars at about a half hour before official sunrise so that the bird could not have been seen all that clearly. | Not Accepted | ||||
