	62:12	1989-11-05		L. Vadnais	Ramsey		(vote 4-3, with 6-1 required for acceptance). The identification was based on the "dark brown" head, a "cream colored stripe" on the crown, and "no green" visible on the head. However, there was doubt about the record because 1) no rusty coloration was noted on the head; 2) the whitish crown on American Wigeons can often be cream colored; 3) since the green iridescence on the side of the American Wigeon's head does not always appear green at a distance or in poor light: thus a male wigeon with no green visible on the head can still easily be an American.

51	95:3	2023-04-10		George Watch Lake, Peltier Channel, near Lino Lakes	Anoka		(record #2023-005, vote 5-2). Adult male. Dissenting members mentioned that lack of significant details was the main reason not to accept. Concern was also expressed not only with this record, but others as well, that simply submitting an eBird report is one of the root causes of non-acceptance because much of the important information in the Request for Documentation (RQD) form is missing. For example, the distance from the bird could make a huge difference when evaluating a record.	Accepted
