| 77:9 | 2004-07-15 | Breckenridge wastewater treatment ponds | Wilkin | (record #2004-087, vote 0-10). All ten MOURC members vote on potential first state records. This bird was seen only in flight and was initially identified by voice, but the observer did not mention previous experience with this species, including its calls. The description of its back indicated that it was an adult bird, but the forehead was “tan, with a rusty tinge” (suggesting an immature bird — the forehead should be reddish in adult Cave Swallow). The documentation also lacked basic information about the circumstances of this sighting, including light conditions, observer orientation with respect to the sun, and whether the sketch was prepared before or after consulting field guides or other references. Though recently increasing as a vagrant to northeastern North America and predicted to occur in Minnesota, almost all extralimital records of the Cave Swallow have been in late October or early November. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 83:99 | 2010-10-30 | about one mile south of Judge C.R. Magney State Park entrance on state highway 6 | Cook | (record #2010-049, vote 0-10). A significant number of members thought that this experienced birder may have actually seen a Cave Swallow. However, the consensus was that there were insufficient details to Accept as a first state record. | Not Accepted | ||||
