| 61:121 | 1987-06-16 | HasselL. | Swift | (vote 2-8). All ten members vote in the case of potential first state records. Although it was agreed a Wood Stork may actually have been seen, the description was too vague and incomplete for a first state record . The identification was based on its "dark neck and head and a dirty-yellow slightly decurved bill ," and a "short black tail." However, the legs and wings were not described at all, and it was unclear how the tail could have been visible under the folded wings . It was also Fall 1989 possible the bird could have just been a pelican, which sometimes has some duskiness on the head and yellowish bill. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 1 | 76:152 | 2004-06-17 | near Grand Marais | Cook | (record #2004-076, identification Accepted 10-0 / origin Accepted 10-0 / physical evidence Accepted 10-0). All ten MOURC members vote on potential first state records, on questions of origin, and on whether or not the identification can be made based on physical evidence alone (in this case, a videotape). This species has been predicted to occur in Minnesota based on records in nearby states and provinces. It was discovered by a 3 and 1/2 year old boy in his backyard and was videotaped by his father. Full details will be published in The Loon. | Accepted | |||
