73:35 | 2000-06-02 | Carlson Twp. | Freeborn | (record #2000-54, vote 1-6). The description does seem to be mostly consistent with this species and to preclude other dove species, but there are a few problems in the documentation which makes acceptance of this potential second state record of a species so far out of range difficult. For one thing, the back is described as “scaled with brown/black spots,” which is more consistent with Inca Dove. Also the eyes are described as “black,” while the irides should be reddish. It may be this really was a grounddove and that the description is simply poorly worded, but again there should be no room for doubt in the documentation of such an unusual species. | Not Accepted | ||||
