3	69:28	1996-05-15		Robertson Park	Jackson	(recirculated record). Although the brief description is consistent with this species, it seems to refer to the species in general as found in a field guide, not to the individuals (three were reported) seen in the field. It also appears to only have been written weeks later from memory. The record is also questionable since more than one Prothonotary was reported, and since the observers did not know the species is unusual in southwestern Minnesota, having reported to have seen it there for three consecutive years.
