| Year | Season | N | S | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1961 | Spring | Previously unreported for the state, was seen by Mrs. Leach and other observers on 13 May at the lzaac Walton League Bass Ponds, in Bloomington, just south of Minneapolis. They had time to study the bird closely. | ||
| 1968 | Spring | 5-30 Wayzata, Hennepin Co., 1 singing, seen by Mrs. Andrew Fuller (see Notes of Interest in previous issue); second report for state. | ||
| 1989 | Spring | 5/13 Elm Creek Park, Hennepin Co. SC (The Loon 61:82-83). | ||
| 1992 | Summer | Fifth state record: one singing bird was observed on 6/6 at Blue Mounds S. P. in Rock County DZ (The Loon 64:174–175). | ||
| 1993 | Spring | Specimen 5/1 Pope CB. (The bird was photographed when it died soon after being found; this is the sixth state record and first documented record.) (The Loon 65:152). | ||
| 1994 | Spring | Reported 5/31 (singing male) Cedar Creek Natural History Area, Anoka Co. JH (The Loon 66:148). Seventh state record. | ||
| 1996 | Summer | Third summer record for the state. Three singing males discovered on 6/4 at Cedar Creek Natural Area in Anoka Co. JH (The Loon 68:183–186); birds remained on territory (although the number gradually diminished to one) through 6/24 mob. | ||
| 1997 | Spring | Only report: 5/18–21 Anoka SC, GP, mob. | ||
| 1997 | Summer | Two summer reports: singing male observed on 6/8 along the Cannon River Bike Trail in Goodhue CaB; one male observed 7/4–24 Fillmore (mob). | ||
| 1999 | Spring | One was photographed 5/2 (second earliest south) Dakota (L. Byllesby) KG et al. | ||
| 1999 | Fall | First fall report ever! This bird was found at the Richfield community gardens west of the MSP airport on 8/12 Hennepin †TT. The bird was seen by many, documented by few, and lingered through 8/19. This will be the last remarkable discovery at this migrant trap (which produced Sage Thrasher and Lark Bunting in recent years), as the gardens are being paved over for a new runway as part of the airport expansion. | ||
| 2001 | Spring | One seen 4/30 (record early date) Rice (Faribault) †TFB et al. | ||
| 2002 | Spring | Episodic reports 4/20–25 Hennepin (Coon Rapids Dam) JKS, †RLR, †OLJ. This bird was apparently difficult to relocate as many observers searched in vain multiple times. | ||
| 2003 | Summer | Observed 6/2–3 Scott (2 males reported but only one was documented and accepted at Murphy-Hanrehan P.R.) †WMS, ph. TPB, m.ob. | ||
| 2004 | Spring | Singing adult male 5/20 Stearns (St. John's University) †TDH, †BR, †HHD. | ||
