| 76:152 | 2004-02-02 | 2004-02-04 | near Ortonville | Big Stone | (record #2004-006, vote 1-9). All ten MOURC members vote on potential first state records. Field notes, sketches, and distant photographs were submitted, but vocalizations, the most important criterion for the separation of this species from other crows, were not recorded and it was unclear whether the observer was experienced in distinguishing these species by call. Several MOURC members commented that voice recordings, close-up photographs, and/or a specimen would be needed to accept this species onto the state list. The location and early February date would be extraordinary for a Fish Crow, which might be expected to occur in bottomland forest associated with small streams in southeastern Minnesota, and in spring rather than mid-winter. | Not Accepted | |||
