| 62:134 | 1989-10-29 | Lake Vadnais | Ramsey | (vote 3-4). While it was agreed that a small tern was actually seen, and while the sketch of the head pattern seems to suggest a Forster's more than Common or Arctic, there is nothing about the wing, bill or tail patterns in the brief description to eliminate other species. The head sketch is also ambiguous, making it unclear how much darkness there was on the nape . | Not Accepted | ||||
