| avian information | 1977-06-01 | 1977-07-31 | Roseau | summer Roseau (third state record) (second county record) After the initial sighting on 5-29 by D. Paulson at Pelan, Roseau Co., many observers saw a female build a nest and incubate eggs during June; a second bird, the presumed male, was only seen on 6-9 and 6-10; photos were taken and a tape of the calling female was recorded (KE); the last report was on 7-8 when DGW observed the female feeding 3 young near the nest; only the second state record. | |||||

| 55:117 | 1982-09-25 | Cottonwood | Lyon | (vote 2-5) The identification was based primarily on the very dark Olive-sided Flycatcherlike sides of the underparts, which is a feature of the Western species. However, Eastern Wood-Pewees, especially in fall, can have underparts which are just as dark as a Western. | Not Accepted | ||||

In addition to written documentation by an experienced observer, sonograms, recordings, and digital video were reviewed at the December 2007 meeting. The identity of the second pewee involved in nesting on private property could not be confirmed. Eighth state record. | Accepted | ||
| avian information | 2007-06-21 | 2007-07-21 | Jackson | 6/21-7/21 Jackson (tenth state record) (first county record) Found 6/21–7/21 Jackson (Des Moines River) MCBS. Photos and video, including recording of call, by KJB, EMu. Nest-building observed 6/21 with adult feeding at least one chick in the nest 7/21; thought to be mated to an Eastern Wood-Pewee. | |||||
| 82:3 | 2009-06-19 | 2009-06-22 | Gary Pines Wayside | Norman | (record #2009-034, vote 2-5). Multiple experienced observers submitted written descriptions of at least five wood-pewees in a mature stand of mixed conifers dominated by jack pine. One bird was apparently silent, others sounded like typical Eastern Wood-Pewees (C. virens), and one gave a raspy “western-type call.” Another delivered calls consistent with either species, suggesting the possibilty of at least one hybrid individual. The most compelling vocalization was heard 22 June, but that bird only called twice in one minute and the bird was never actually seen vocalizing. Since at least one of the pewees gave both Eastern and Western-like calls and one or more of the birds may have been hybrids, a hybrid could have given its Western-like call twice before going on to deliver an intermediate or Eastern-like call. The majority felt that without taped voice recordings, the evidence remained equivocal. | Not Accepted | |||
| 9 | 89:87 | 2017-06-03 | 2017-08-26 | Buffalo Lake State Park (46.86230,-96.46494) | Clay | (record #2017-017, vote 7-0). Photographed, audio and video recorded. Ninth state and first county record. On 8 August 2017, an unsuccessful attempt was made to capture this bird for DNA analysis to determine genetically whether or not the bird might be a hybrid with Eastern WoodPewee. This was undertaken because the bird made a potentially questionable, atypical vocalization among several other normal vocalizations. | Accepted | ||
