| 11-28-2007. Sturts -- Accept A good description that includes diagnoistic field marks. Carlisle eliminated other similar species |
04-06-2008. Sturts -- Accept Lisa commented on the Bristle-thighed Curlew not being eliminated. In reading Jay's report again, I see that he did eliminate it. "whereas Bristle-thighed Curlew is very similar but has a buffy belly and tail" |
| 8 January 2008. Hardy -- Reject, specific identification not established Although this is likely a Whimbrel record simply because of the rarity of Bristle-thighed Curlew (no records in Idaho), the description does not sufficiently distinguish this bird from a BTCU. I look forward to the comments by other committee members more familiar with these species. |
3 May 2008. Hardy -- Reject, specific identification not established Same comments as round one. |
| 1/20/2008. Cliff Weisse -- Accept Minimal description is adequate to confirm the identification of Whimbrel. |
4/11/08. Cliff Weisse -- Accept I agree that Whimbrel must be competed against Bristle-thighed Curlew but I feel the description is adequate to eliminate this possibility. Although the description does not include the underparts the report does mention that BT Curlew would have buffy tail and belly in the elimination of other species section and observer is experienced with Whimbrel. I saw two Whimbrels at Camas NWR with Jay, at which time we discussed the possibility of Bristle-thighed Curlew, and I am confident in his ability to separate these species. |
| 01-21-2008. Dave Trochlell -- Accept Convincing report. |
04-14-2008. Dave Trochlell -- Accept As I said before, the rare bird report is convincing. |
| 01-24-2008. chuck trost -- Accept Good description of critical field marks. |
04-11-2008. chuck trost -- Accept Season and description seem okay to me. |
| 1/28/08. Charles Swift -- Accept An acceptable description of a distinctive species. |
4/29/2008. Charles Swift -- Accept See round #1 comments. |
| 02/11/2008. Darren Clark -- Accept Jay seems to have explained what separates this bird from other "curlews". |
04-29-2008. Darren Clark -- Accept I still feel the description by Jay is adequate to separate this bird from all other similar species. |
