70:156 | 1997-11-02 | near Ashby | Otter Tail | (record #98-05, vote 1-6). The documentation by an observer unfamiliar with this species indicates the identification was based on “the black triangle on the head” and “the buff on the breast”, but Laplands in basic plumage also have similar facial markings and are somewhat buffy on their underparts. In addition, the documentation is inconsistent as to the number of birds identified as Smith's: 8-10 individuals is indicated at first, but later the number is given as 25. | Not Accepted | ||||

76:39 | 2003-02-26 | near Hinckley | Pine | (record #2003-34, vote 0-7). Although the documentation is lengthy, it includes relatively little in actual description to support the identification. The bird was said to be singing, but it seems very unlikely this species would be singing in February so far south of its breeding range. At one point the bird is described as the size of a robin, which certainly does not fit any longspur, and its bill is described as “thin,” another feature inconsistent with a longspur. | Not Accepted | ||||
