54:42 | 1980-10-26 | 1980-11-08 | Duluth | St. Louis | (vote 2-5) Although an adult male Vermilion Flycatcher is an unmistakeable species, there were strong reservations about the described behavior of this bird, since it came to a feeder with crecked corn and foraged on the ground; it was felt that a Vermilion Flycatcher would be most unlikely to do that, and that the inexperienced observer may have been influenced too much by the field guide. | Not Accepted | |||
