| 72:164 | 2000-01-24 | Andover | Anoka | (record #2000-15, vote 1-9; all ten Committee members vote on potential first state records). The observers, who had no experience with this species, based their identification of this bird on its mostly gray plumage (with red limited to the crest, wings and tail) and its yellow bill. While such a description seems more consistent with Pyrrhuloxia than Northern Cardinal, it does not entirely match either a male Pyrrhuloxia (which would also show red on the face and belly) or a female (which would not show much, if any, red on the wings and tail). There is also no mention of bill shape, which is distinctive in this species. Such a record would be quite unexpected and unprecedented since the Pyrrhuloxia has no history of vagrancy to the eastern U.S. As such, a more complete and convincing description would be needed for such an unusual species. | Not Accepted | ||||
