1st round: 14 May 2024 6 acc, 1 not, 2 to 2nd
2nd round: 13 Jun 2024 1 acc, 8 not
Completed: 16 Jul 2024 Not Accepted

 

Summary:   The alternatives seemed to be Cassin's or Sagebrush Sparrow, but the photos didn't clearly show either one convincingly, so to be on the safe side, it was decided not to accept this record for this very rare species.
