Many thanks to the Robertsens and the community of Silver Bay for welcoming birders, and to all who provided written or photographic documentation. First occurrence since 1986 and the first to be seen by many observers since one overwintered in Hennepin 1972–73 (The Loon 45:20–21). | |||||

| avian information | 2012-10-10 | Carlton | 10/10 Carlton (first county record) First fall reports since 2004, and first season with observations from multiple counties since 1977. First county record for Carlton (Cloquet) 10/10–12 ph. KGo. Second county record for St. Louis (H.R.N.R.) 10/12 ph. †KJB, ABL, †RDC (The Loon 85:93).

| 25 | 85:3 | 2012-10-12 | Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve | St. Louis | (record #2012-034, vote 7-0). Photographed. There were six ostensible records of this species during the 2012 fall season — all from different counties. Only five of these reports were documented, and only three of these were Accepted. This represents a significant movement into the state comparable to 1972 when the species was reported from four Minnesota counties. These 1972 records were never formally reviewed because they preceded the formation of MOURC. Interestingly, an examination of eBird data for the 2012 fall season showed no reports of this species in any contiguous state other than in the Black Hills of South Dakota where it might be expected. It is also noteworthy that there were no subsequent winter reports of this species in Minnesota despite the significant number of fall records. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2012-10-12 | St. Louis | 10/12 St. Louis (second county record) First fall reports since 2004, and first season with observations from multiple counties since 1977. First county record for Carlton (Cloquet) 10/10–12 ph. KGo. Second county record for St. Louis (H.R.N.R.) 10/12 ph. †KJB, ABL, †RDC (The Loon 85:93). First county record for Ramsey (Shoreview) discovered 10/30 THl, observed and photographed by dozens of birders through 11/2 ph. †AXH, ph. †CMB, ph. DAC, †DWK, †BAF, †PNi, m.ob. | ||||||

| avian information | 2012-10-30 | 2012-11-02 | Ramsey | 10/30-11/2 Ramsey (first county record) First fall reports since 2004, and first season with observations from multiple counties since 1977. First county record for Carlton (Cloquet) 10/10–12 ph. KGo. Second county record for St. Louis (H.R.N.R.) 10/12 ph. †KJB, ABL, †RDC (The Loon 85:93). First county record for Ramsey (Shoreview) discovered 10/30 THl, observed and photographed by dozens of birders through 11/2 ph. †AXH, ph. †CMB, ph. DAC, †DWK, †BAF, †PNi, m.ob. | |||||
| 85:3 | 2012-11-06 | Golden Valley | Hennepin | (record #2012-038, vote 0-7). The principal supporting documentation was a sketch made from memory seven days after the observation. White wing patches should have been partially visible when the bird was at rest and certainly when in flight. However, no mention was ever made of this distinctive characteristic even though the bird was seen in flight. The observer had no previous experience with the species. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 85:3 | 2012-11-29 | County Road 11 roughly half a mile north of the intersection with County Road 2 | Lac qui Parle | (record #2012-043, vote 2-5). Although the description seems consistent with Clark's Nutcracker, it is difficult to accept a record of an Accidental species based exclusively on a five-second view of the bird in flight, made while driving at forty miles per hour, apparently without any attempt to stop to relocate it for purposes of obtaining detailed information. | Not Accepted | ||||

This cooperative bird was subsequently reported by many observers, with many outstanding photographs. | |||||
