Summary:
Although the committee was convinced that the bird was indeed a Tufted Duck, it was split on whether it was naturally occurring or an escapee.
In the "resubmission" of this record in 2021, to see if the new bylaws for first-state records of voting on the merits of the record for all records, this Tufted Duck was thought to be a possible escapee.
