No murrelets on the official state list so point is moot according to the 
original rules of the game.

However, there was a Long-billed Murrelet reported from Reelfoot Lake in 
the 1990s that has never been submitted to the TBRC.  This is a species 
with many, widely scattered reports across NAm and could show up anywhere, 
including TN.

Ancient Murrelet is another species that should not be overlooked as a 
potential vagrant to TN... but that is a different game for another rainy 
day.
