| 77:169 | 2005-05-20 | East River Gorge Park, Minneapolis | Hennepin | (record #2005-023, vote 2-5). A brief description by an inexperienced observer of a heron that “apparently has been staying in the park for some time, because many neighbors are familiar with it” garnered minimal support. Its bill was yellow — atypical for Tricolored Heron in May — and the description of a “grayishblue back” and “light” belly might also fit Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias). | Not Accepted | ||||
| 80:5 | 2007-05-14 | near mouth of Warroad River | Roseau | (recirculated record #2007-026, first vote 4-3, second vote 4-3). No field notes were taken and there was no description of the bird's size. Two field guides were consulted to make the identification, so it was unclear how well the internet posting reflected what was seen in the field. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 16 | 84:107 | 2012-05-19 | Succonix WMA (north unit), Clearwater Township | Wright | (record #2012-015, vote 5-2). Although seen only in flight, the observer's documentation is adequate to support the identification. Considerable weight was given to the observer's previous experience with this species in southern states. First county record; sixteenth state record; and ninth spring record. The most recent previous record was in 2007. | Accepted | |||
