| 1 | 73:35 | 2000-05-10 | specimen, found dead in downtown Minneapolis | Hennepin | (record #200037, vote 10–0, The Loon 72:191–193). Note that all ten members vote on potential first state records. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2000-05-10 | Hennepin | 5/10 Hennepin (first state record) (first county record) First state record 5/10 Hennepin (Minneapolis) picked up injured, subsequently died on 5/15 (The Loon 72:191–193), specimen at the Bell Museum of Natural History (RZ). | ||||||
| 73:168 | 2001-05-12 | Carson Township | Cottonwood | (record #2001-23, vote 0–7). The Committee unanimously felt the documentation was too vague and brief for something as unusual as a potential second state record. The plumage is hardly described at all, and the bird's described size and manner of flight are confusing. The documentation also indicates the observer was unsure of his identification and originally reluctant to report it. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 77:9 | 2004-09-28 | St. Paul | Ramsey | (record #2004-100, vote 3–4). This bird was not seen with binoculars, but was serendipitously photographed in flight using a digital camera. While acknowledging the possibility that it was correctly identified, the majority considered the blurred image insufficient for a potential second state record. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 85:3 | 2012-06-27 | Cottonwood | Lyon | (record #2012-022, first vote 4–3; recirculated vote 0–7). The drawing illustrates a dark eye within a white face which is not consistent with this species. Several MOURC members who originally accepted this record had other reservations with statements such as “Chimney Swifts that were near were considerably smaller.” After a thorough discussion at its 2 December 2012 meeting, those uncertainties were augmented with no one speaking in favor of accepting the record. | Not Accepted | ||||
