| 70:156 | 1997-05-04 | Prior Lake | Scott | (recirculated record #97-76, vote 1–6). The majority first voted to accept this record of two individuals, but after being reconsidered and discussed the description of both birds was found to be inadequate. Since bill shape and eye color were not described, and the underparts streaks are described as gray, the possibility of Curve-billed Thrasher is not precluded. Also, there is mention of “white outer feathers on their tails”, although a Sage Thrasher's tail only has white corners. It was also felt very unlikely that two such individual vagrants would appear simultaneously at the same location during migration. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 72:40 | 1999-05-21 | Duluth | St. Louis | (record #99–52, vote 3–4). While this bird was probably correctly identified, the majority felt the observers' written descriptions are not complete or clear enough to preclude entirely other species of thrashers. The descriptions include features of the bill which seem inconsistent with Sage Thrasher: “long beak, with a downward curl... bill dark at the tip (about 25% of the length of the bill), basal part yellowish.” One observer also describes the eye as “deep orange-yellow,” which also is not consistent with this species. | Not Accepted | ||||
