| 55:117 | 1981-10-31 | near Park Rapids | Hubbard | (vote 1-6) A pair of ducks feeding along a highway shoulder were identified on the basis of their long legs and necks, buff brown coloration and barring on the back. While it was agreed that they may well have been whistling-ducks, the birds were only observed from a moving vehicle (it is common for birders to think they see something while driving by, turn around, look again more closely and find out their first impression was wrong; it is unfortunate that the observer, who knew how unusual the species is in Minnesota, did not stop for a better look). Also it seems likely, even if they were whistling-ducks, that they were escapes since this species is kept widely in captivity and since they acted so "tame ," not being bothered by the traffic along Hwy. 34. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 94:3 | 1983-10-15 | south of Montevideo | Yellow Medicine | (record #1983-001, vote 0-7). The sighting was submitted 38 years after the observation. While this is not necessarily fatal to the record, there was no supporting documentation such as contemporaneous field notes or sketches. Details are lacking for such an important observation and memory is attenuated after such a long interval. Unfortunately, the Committee could not accept the record. | Not Accepted | ||||
