How can it be misleading to consider the record? To dismiss it out of hand certainly is misleading. The latter suggests that the possibility of a wild bird does not exist, when clearly it does. A responsible committee would give serious consideration to any record submitted to it, considering all circumstances and history, to be sure, but not assuming that history always repeats itself. I will assume that MOURC is a responsible committee, and hope that someone submits this Whooper Swan record for its consideration. Jim Williams Wayzata
