| 91:3 | 2018-12-25 | private residence on West 95th Street; Bloomington | Hennepin | (record #2018-052, vote 0-10). The value of the written documentation of this bird is compromised by the fact that the observer immediately consulted a field guide while the bird was in partial view raising the issue of the power of suggestion. From the description it is hard to differentiate what was observed versus what was gleaned from the field guide. The photo is too blurry to be of much help. A second photo from the next day of what was purported to be the same bird shows what appears to be an American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). | Not Accepted | ||||
