60:1081988-04-20near TofteCook(vote 2-5). Although the observer is familiar with this species' song, the majority did not accept this heard-only record because the observer was not aware how unusually early the date was and made no attempt to try to see the bird. Therefore, it is possible that she only casually listened to the song and did not carefully identify it. Not Accepted
