The above two previously Accepted records were discussed and recirculated after a subcommittee re-examined Minnesota records of Hermit and Townsend's warblers, and recommended that they be reviewed in light of published information on the frequency of hybridization between townsendi and occidentalis in the Pacific Northwest. | Accepted | |||

3 | 95:3 | 2023-05-06 | Park Point Recreation Area, Duluth | St. Louis | (record #2023-033, vote 7-0). Single bird of indeterminate sex. First county record and third state record. Previous records were a male specimen taken near Cambridge, Isanti County 1931 (The Auk 48:435) and Yellow Bank River, Lac qui Parle County 1983 (The Loon 80:118). With reference to the 1931 specimen, T.S. Roberts (Roberts, T.S. (1932) The Birds of Minnesota: Vol. 2 pp. 226-227) states that “this is a most exceptional occurrence, for there appear to be no other records east of the Rocky Mountains.” | Accepted | |||
