| 05-04-2007. Shirley Sturts -- Accept Song "chebek"is diagnostic |
06-22-2007. Sturts -- Accept I staying with my 1st round vote for the same reasons I voted to accept in round 1. |
08-03-2007. Sturts -- Accept I'm staying with my accept vote for the same reason - call is diagnostic. |
| 05-05-2007. Carlisle -- Accept As noted, habitat didn't seem right but maybe a passage migrant .... song & big-headed appearance seem right. |
6-30-07. Carlisle -- Accept Description lacks voice detail but I trust the report. |
11-04-2007. Carlisle -- Accept Added song description helpful |
| 05-06-2007. chuck trost -- Accept visual and vocal recorded, as well as other observer. |
07-02-2007. chuck trost -- Reject, specific identification not established Other empids have a "two part song" - so why not describe what it said? I have to join Dave on this one. |
08-07-2007. chuck trost -- Accept I liked reading the addendum's description of the song. |
| 5/9/07. Cliff Weisse -- Accept Despite atypical habitat the observer is experienced with the song of Least Flycatcher and was able to visually confirm that the song eminated from an Empidonax ssp. |
7/3/2007. Cliff Weisse -- Reject, specific identification not established After reading the first round comments I agree with Dave, there is no description of the bird and very limited detail of the song. Although I believe that Lisa heard a Least Flycatcher I think we need to see more detail of the song. |
8/4/07. Cliff Weisse -- Accept I have always felt that Lisa's identification was correct. My hesitation was due to a lack of documentation rather than any doubt about Lisa's ID of the birds. The addition of a description of the song is enough to sway my vote back to accept. |
| 5/21/07. Charles Swift -- Accept Accept based on call. Atypical habitat suggests a migrant (if I remember from back east, Least FC do call in migration). (However, we had a LEFL in Latah County for a week or so summer of 2006 in Ponderosa Pine bordered by an Aspen stand.) |
7/7/06. Charles Swift -- Accept See round 1 comments. |
10/8/2007. Charles Swift -- Accept Thanks to Lisa for the additional information. |
| 05-26-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Reject, specific identification not established Unfortunately, no description of the bird or its song was offered in this report. Regretably, I had to reject this candidate even though I believe that Lisa saw and heard a Least Flycatcher. |
06-30-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Reject, specific identification not established As stated earlier, I can't accept this candidate because of the lack of an adequate description. |
08-10-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Accept With the addition of LEFL vocalizations in Lisa's addendum, I'm ready to accept 29-B-06 and 30-B-06. |
| 27 May 2007. Hardy -- Accept Song diagnostic. |
1 July 2007. Hardy -- Accept Same comment as before. |
6 August 2007. Hardy -- Accept same comment |
