	58:42	1985-04-20		near Fergus Falls	Otter Tail		(vote 2-5). Although the observers had a close look at the bird and the warmer than normal April weather might have brought in a record early Dickcissel , the observers were not aware of how early this record was and thus their documentation was very brief (the only thing provided was a crude sketch showing a "black diamond" on the upper breast and a "yellow" area below this) . Most agreed, however, the identification might have been correct, and no one could think of what else the bird could reasonably have been.	Not Accepted
