54:42 | 1981-08-10 | Minneapolis | Hennepin | (vote 2-5) The description only said that this wren was large and had a "clear huffy breast." Since size descriptions like "large" or "small" are meaningless unless the bird is compared to something else, since other wrens have huffy breasts, and since neither a white eye-line or reddish-brown upperparts were observed, the majority voted not to accept. | Not Accepted | ||||
