64:138 | 1980-03-16 | Anoka | Anoka | (vote 1-6); previously voted on and accepted. The entire description was: "Circling hawk witll characteristic buteo shape, wit11 wide black and white tail bands on its tail." As with the previous record, such a description of the shape of the tail is not specific enough to eliminate other species. | Not Accepted | ||||
64:138 | 1980-03-16 | Becker | Sherburne | (vote 1-6); previously voted on and accepted. The identification was based on its "wide tail banding" and "buteo features in flight". However, the description of tile tail is not specific enough to preclude oilier species; in addition, it does not preclude accipiters which often appear buteo-like when circling in flight. | Not Accepted | ||||

54:147 | 1982-03-22 | 1982-03-23 | Chisago | (vote 2-5) The majority voted not to accept based on the description of the "distinct whiteness of the breast, body" and "black wrist markings," which the Broad-winged does not have. | Not Accepted | ||||
55:127 | 1983 | index | Broad-winged Hawk Nest in Maplewood | ||||||
56:160 | 1984-03-01 | Shoreview | Ramsey | (vote 1-6). The only description given was "broad, equal-width tail bands", and an indication that it was "a small buteo". But there was no description of the rest of the plumage, and no indication as to why the observer felt it was a Buteo and not an Accipiter (which often circles and fans its tail like a Buteo in flight) . | Not Accepted | ||||
64:138 | 1985-03-10 | Rochester | Olmsted | (vote 2-5); previously voted on and accepted. After the original vote, a sketch of the tail belatedly became available, and it shows a pattern of narrow black bands and much wider white bands, which is inconsistent with Broad-winged Hawk. | Not Accepted | ||||

79:123 | 2006-12-16 | St. Paul | Ramsey | (record #2007-011, vote 5-2). Minnesota's first winter record of this species was documented during the St. Paul Christmas Bird Count. | Recirculated | ||||
80:115 | 2006-12-16 | St. Paul | Ramsey | (recirculated record #2007-011, vote 1-6). This previously Accepted record from the St. Paul Christmas Bird Count was recirculated after concerns were raised about the identification. The more likely possibility of Red-shouldered Hawk (B. lineatus) was not conclusively eliminated by the submitted description, and it was felt that unequivocal documentation would be needed to confirm Minnesota's first winter record of this species. | Not Accepted | ||||
