| 09-24-2007. Sturts -- Accept I feel somewhat uneasy about accepting this record as the Ringed Turtle-Dove was not ruled out. However, the report does mention dark primaries, and in the photograph, the bird near the tree shows dark primaries. The other birds look rather light but I think that may be due to the lighting in the photograph. Also, in the photograph, it looks there are white edgings to the black neck collar. As to behavior, the birds were described as skittish. |
| 9/28/2007. Cliff Weisse -- Accept Photos and description do not include details of undertail coverts but I feel that, in addition to other visible characters, the dark gray primary tips is sufficient to confirm the identification of this now expected species. |
| 09-29-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Accept The description of these birds was not convincing enough for me, and if that's all we'd received I would've had to vote agains't confimation. But the image accompanying the report clearly shows five EUCDs, with diagnostic dark gray primaries. |
| 010-06-2007. chuck trost -- Accept hard to argue with the pictures. |
| 14 October 2007. Hardy -- Accept Description notes wariness and dark primaries; primaries in at least one bird in photo appear sufficiently dark to eliminate possibility of Ringed Turtle-Dove. |
| 1/3/08. Charles Swift -- Accept Good description and diagnostic photo images. |
| 01-06-2008. Carlisle -- Accept Picture shows at least 2 birds with darker primaries (though undertails are hard to assess). |
