How can it be misleading to consider the record? To dismiss it out of hand
certainly is misleading. The latter suggests that the possibility of a wild
bird does not exist, when clearly it does.

A responsible committee would give serious consideration to any record
submitted to it, considering all circumstances and history, to be sure, but
not assuming that history always repeats itself.

I will assume that MOURC is a responsible committee, and hope that someone
submits this Whooper Swan record for its consideration.
