1st Round |
| 05-04-2007. Shirley Sturts -- Accept Field marks given fit those of the Black Scoter. Observer is familiar with the species |
| 05-05-2007. Carlisle -- Accept Looks good. |
| 05-06-2007. chuck trost -- Accept Multiple observers and adequate description. |
| 05-07-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Accept I and many others saw this bird back in 1996. The documentation offered here is fine, and I have no hesitation in accepting this candidate as a record. |
| 5/13/2007. Cliff Weisse -- Accept Multiple experienced observers. Description is sufficient to eliminate other species. |
| 5/21/07. Charles Swift -- Accept Good description. Presumably date of sighting eliminates 1st spring Surf Scoter as a candidate (and direct comparison w/ 2 Surf Scoters present). |
| 27 May 2007. Hardy -- Accept Description of appearance and behavior consistent with Black Scoter, other duck species eliminated; experienced observer. |
