93:111 | 2021-05-01 | Clarkfield Wastewater Treatment Plant, Clarkfield | Yellow Medicine | (record #2021-022, vote 2-5). If a Red Knot, this bird would not only be a first county record, but would also represent the earliest date on record for Minnesota by one week (earliest date is 8 May). Using the entire month of April as a proxy for a next-day (1 May) observation, an examination of the eBird database for the past five years yields only a single inland record from Utah (this excludes overwintering birds from the Salton Sea in California only 78 miles from the Pacific Coast). Therefore, a significant degree of detailed documentation is required for this observation. Several members mentioned that the documentation did not adequately eliminate Sanderling, a species that did occur in three different Minnesota counties on the date of the observation. | Not Accepted | ||||
