| 53:129 | 1981-03-24 | Winona | Winona | (vote 0-7) Nothing in the description eliminated the possibility of Forster's Tern, which is more likely in early spring. Although the observers felt sure they were observing terns, there was not enough information to preclude a small species of gull. Also the birds were observed without binoculars. | Not Accepted | ||||

| avian information | 1995-07-13 | Lyon | 7/13 Lyon (second summer record) Nested in Lake of the Woods. Observed in Cass (510 adults), Crow Wing, St. Louis, Lake; plus late migrant 6/1 Hennepin. A sick bird (which sub-sequently died) was found on 7/12 near Garvin in Lyon Co. (JSc); incredibly, this bird was banded as a nestling on 7/28/94 in Cleveland, England! | ||||||
| avian information | 1996-06-04 | Hennepin | 6/4 Hennepin (first summer record) Probable nesting in St. Louis; also seen in Roseau, Itasca, Cass, Crow Wing, Aitkin. | ||||||

| 74:36 | 2001-06-11 | Lake Byllesby | Dakota | (record #2001-62, vote 1-6). The observer did not consider or preclude the possibility of this being an Arctic Tern. In addition, the features used to preclude Forster's Tern (bill color and wing vs. tail extension) are only secondary field marks. A more complete description was not possible since the bird was not seen in flight. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 1 | 74:161 | 2001-10-27 | Bemidji | Beltrami | (record #2002-09, vote 6-1, The Loon 74:118). With late fall reports of Common Terns, it is necessary to preclude the possibility of both Forster's and Arctic terns, as this observer does in his documentation. | Accepted | |||
| 2 | 74:36 | 2001-11-04 | Vineland | Mille Lacs | (record #2001-71, vote 6-1). The most convincing feature indicative of this species was the black wedge seen about halfway out on the upper surface of the primaries. The lone dissenting voter felt that Forster's Tern is not entirely precluded. | Accepted | |||
