2nd round: 2 Feb 2024 8 acc, 1 not
Completed: 8 May 2024 Accepted

 

Summary*:  After much discussion and collaboration about this sighting, because it was way out of the expected range for this species, and there seemed to be a possibility it was an intergrade, the committee accepted this interesting sight record as valid for Utah.
