NOT ACCEPT

1^st Round (4 Accept, 3 Reject)	2^nd Round (0 Accept, 7 Reject)
010-12-2006. Shirley Sturts -- Accept Well described	010-22-2007. Sturts -- Reject, specific identification not established I feel these were likely Eurasian Collared-Dove. However, I am changing my vote to reject because the Ringed Turtle-dove was not eliminated.
010-13-2006. Chuck Trost -- Reject, specific identification not established While it was probably this species, the Ringed-turtle Dove was not considered or eliminated.	11-11-2007. chuck trost -- Reject, specific identification not established At the risk of being inconsistent, I agree that there was not sufficient info to reject turtle dove.
10/13/06. Cliff Weisse -- Reject, specific identification not established I think this was probably a Eurasian Collared-Dove but field marks necessary to eliminate the very similar Ringed Turtle-Dove are not included in the description.	10/30/07. Cliff Weisse -- Reject, specific identification not established See first round comments
010-20-2006. Dave Trochlell -- Reject, specific identification not established I believe that Kit saw a Eurasian Collared-Dove, but unfortunately her account does not adequately differentiate this record candidate from Ringed Turtle-Dove. Specifically, her description lacks a description of the dove's call, primaries, and undertail coverts.	010-24-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Reject, specific identification not established The report lacks a description of the dove's call, primaries, and undertail coverts, features necessary to differentiate EUCDs from similar African Collared-Doves.
11-4-06. Carlisle -- Accept sufficient	01-06-2008. Carlisle -- Reject, specific identification not established Another tough one; very likely ECDO but critical fieldmarks not noted.
11/11/2006. Charles Swift -- Accept Some of these accounts do not completely eliminate Ringed Turtle-Dove as possibilities but obviously E. Collared-Dove is the likely suspect and widely reported in southeastern Idaho in this time frame.	1/3/08. Charles Swift -- Reject, specific identification not established I'll go along with others but still feel this is very likely a EUCD, probably among the vanguard in e. Idaho and now well documented as being established in the area.
01-05-2007 dumroese -- Accept Good description. Notes key features.	24 October 2007. Hardy -- Reject, specific identification not established The similar Ringed Turtle-Dove was not considered or eliminated by this report.
