	72:40	1999-07-01	1999-07-02	Detroit Lakes	Becker		(record #99-49; vote 4-3, with a 5-2 vote or higher required for acceptance). Although it was agreed this apparent adult male Hooded Warbler may have been correctly identified, there is nothing in the documentation about the color or pattern of the underparts, wings or tail. The entire description only mentions a “yellow brow and yellow sides of the head with a black hood.”	Not Accepted
	avian information	1999-07-11			Carver		7/11 Carver (first county record) Several records: 6/5–27 Dakota and Scott counties (two males at Murphy-Hanrahan Park Reserve, which straddles the two counties) PC et al.; 6/19,26 Anoka (Carlos Avery WMA for former date, Linwood L. for latter — may be same bird) KB; 7/11 Carver (2) RD.

	73:35	2000-06-09	2000-06-14	Chaska	Carver		(record #2000-66, vote 1-6). No field notes were taken at the time of the observation, with the provided documentation apparently only written from memory two months later. The majority of the Committee was also bothered by the atypical habitat for this species (“wet field with small trees and shrubs”), and some felt the description was too vague and did not adequately rule out other possibilities, such as Common Yellowthroat.	Not Accepted
3	74:161	2001-11-21		St. Cloud	Stearns		(record #2002-11, vote 7-0, The Loon 74:179). Although an extremely late record for this Minnesota rarity, this adult male was well described and is difficult to confuse with any other species.	Accepted
