80:54-552008indexFirst Record of the Inca Dove in Minnesota
89:872017-05-20along 531st Avenue just south of Courtland Wildlife Management Area and north ofNicollet(record #2017-011, vote 1–6). There was a lack of consistency among the three observers regarding the color of the upper surface of the wings. Only one of the three observers mentions the rufous color of the wings and hedges his statement as follows: “The wings also had largely dark to roufous (sic) contrast to the body unlike morning dove (sic).” The observation by all observers was very brief ranging from five to thirty seconds and as close as five feet by one observer. Most members shared the view that the rufous in the wings should have been obvious at this distance particularly because other less obvious characteristics were well-described. Not Accepted
 
 One fall record (2007).
