| 1 | 76:39 | 1980-05-19 | Wall Lake | Otter Tail | (record #2003-38, identification accepted 10-0 / A(o) origin accepted 9-1). All ten MOURC members vote on potential first state records and on questions of origin. This potentially first state record was originally voted on and Not Accepted. However, at the time there were not separate votes on identification and origin, as there are today, and those not accepting the record apparently did so because of its possible captive origin. Additionally, at the time there was no Accidental (o) designation: i.e., a record accepted on a qualified basis because of uncertain origin. Accordingly, to clear up any uncertainties, new votes were taken, and the record was accepted with the (o) qualifier (as are most previous records of this species). | Accepted | |||

As discussed in the previous Proceedings article, a simple majority vote decides the status of possible escapes such as this; the two dissenting members voted for Aa status. | Accepted | |||

| 6 | 73:35 | 2000-08-06 | Prescott Lake | Grant | (record #2000-75, vote 7-0 on identification, The Loon 73:64). After the identification was accepted, a discussion and vote on the origin of this individual was taken, and by majority vote (8-2; all ten members vote on questions of origin) it was accepted as Accidental (o) — i.e., the possibilities of captive vs. wild origin are about equal. | Accepted | |||

| 77:9 | 2004-08-01 | Otrey Township | Big Stone | (record #2004-108, vote 5-2). This juvenile was well-described at rest and in flight. Members not accepting this record were concerned about the early date, i.e., the probability that a bird hatched in 2004 within this species' current breeding range could reach western Minnesota by 1 August, and that similarlooking species including exotic waterfowl or hybrids thereof were not considered. | Recirculated | ||||
| 7 | 81:7 | 2004-08-01 | Otrey Township | Big Stone | (recirculated record #2004-108, identification previously Accepted 5-2, origin Accepted with o subscript, vote 10-0). This record was recirculated for discus8 The Loon Volume 81 sion and vote on origin. The o subscript indicates that the chances of natural origin are about the same as the chances of being an escape or release from captivity. | Accepted | |||

| 8 | 81:7 | 2005-10-17 | Rendsville Township | Stevens | (recirculated record #2005-073, identification previously Accepted 7-0, origin Accepted 10-0). This record was recirculated for discussion and vote on origin. Acceptance without a subscript indicates assumption of natural origin. | Accepted | |||

Ninth state record; adult, photographed. All ten members discuss and vote on issues of origin. In this case, the majority felt that natural or “wild” origin was more likely, so the record will be filed without an “o” subscript. | Accepted | ||

| 10 | 84:3 | 2011-05-14 | wetland near Madelia | Watonwan | (record #2011-018, origin vote 8-2). Accepted as an Accidental (A) - i.e., there is reasonable certainty both birds were wild and arrived under their own power. The identity was previously voted on and Accepted.

| 86:107 | 2014-04-14 | 2014-04-16 | Lake Byllesby near Lakeside Cemetery | Dakota | (record #2014-003, Casual, vote 1-6). The observer knew the record was unusual and the birds (about 20) were reported to be present for several days, but the description was very incomplete. Specifically, there was no mention of the bold white stripe on the upper wing, the black belly, the leg color, the back, the face color, or the eyering. | Not Accepted | |||

Mating was observed in mid-June, but no subsequent evidence of nesting was observed.
