One female (2005-02) on 16 Apr 2005, Vermilion: Palmetto Island State Park, near boat launch. The observation was very brief and reported by only one of six observers. All members believed that the submitted details, which emphasized the perceived relative size of the bird and that it had a red-based bill, did not provide enough support to allow acceptance of the identification.
One male (2021-039) on 9-10 March 2021, St. Tammany: Mandeville, 424 W. Chase Court. Although seen at a relatively close range, this naked eye observation did not include marks critical to support the identification of this species or eliminate other species.
