Request For Documentation Form

An RQD enables birders to document unusual records for possible inclusion in the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union permanent file. Your submitted form will be evaluated by our Records Committee. If the record is significant, submitted details may be published in a future issue of our journal, The Loon.

The Request for Documentation form (RQD) can be viewed as an Adobe PDF file and printed directly from your screen. Instructions for use are included on the form, as is an address where you can send the completed report.

The RTF version of the RQD should be readable by most any standard word processor.
