| 15 | 74:161 | 2002-04-21 | Moorhead | Clay | (record #2002-47, vote 7-0). Field notes were written at the time of observation before any field guides were consulted. As with the above Say's Phoebe record (2002-44), a record's documentation is always strengthened if field notes on the bird's appearance are written before the observer looks at any references. A field sketch, no matter how crude, is also recommended. When consulting a field guide first, it becomes too easy to end up describing what the bird looked like in the book (i.e., what it should have looked like), rather than describing the actual appearance of the bird in the field. | Accepted | |||

| 18 | 76:39 | 2003-06-08 | Fredenberg Township | St. Louis | (record #2003-37, vote 5-2).
