     I agree but again feel that no one should emphatically state that 
     'this bird cannot be a Common Gull' when they have not even seen any 
     documentation from the person(s) who first saw the bird in question. 
     Everyone is entitled to their opinion and, yes, I most certainly agree 
     that everyones' life list is their own.
     
     Cheers,

Kathy,
     
I'm sure you'll agree we all own our own life lists, and we each determine what 
goes on them, and that we have the right to make these decisions regardless of 
the state's decision.  We also have the right to talk about these decisions on 
the internet and at bird club meetings. I think that's the thing most people 
found outrageous about the earlier message. I don't perceive that this casts 
aspersions on anyone.
     
Good Birding and enjoying the debate,

     The point of the message was that it is not up to one individual to 
     make a decision for everyone else; but, rather up to the Records 
     Committee to make a decision regarding the record for the state. Each 
     person has the right to make their own decision but in doing so should 
     not be casting aspersions on the integrity of others or the Records 
     Committee.
