55:41 | 1982-05-05 | Sherburne N.W.R. | Sherburne | (vote 0-7) The five birds were identified in flight on the basis of larger size and longer bills. However, these size features are only subjective and not diagnostic without direct comparison with Whimbrels. Although the observer is experienced with Long-billed Curlews, there was no indication he has any experience with Whimbrels which can also have a "brown mottled appearance." | Not Accepted | ||||

62:12 | 1989-05-01 | Heron L. | Jackson | (vote 1-6). Although it was believed the identification was correct, neither the sketches nor verbal description were complete enough to eliminate Whimbrel since no mention was made of the head pattern or the color of the underwing linings , and the larger-than-Franklin's Gull size described could also fit Whimbrel. | Not Accepted | ||||
