| 59:143 | 1986-09-07 | near Moorhead | Clay | (vote 2-5). The entire identification was based on a "light area at the base of the tail and the . . . dark band on the tail end"; however, for such an early date the majority felt that more of the plumage should have been described, and that immature Red-taileds have a lot of white on the upper tail coverts and a brown tail which might also fit the description. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 63:41 | 1990-06-23 | near Toimi | Lake | (vote 1-6). Although the description of this melanistic Buteo mentioned a "broad dark terminal tail band," hardly anything else was described to eliminate the possibility of other species. The documentation was also only provided from memory three months after the sighting, and the observer was not aware at the time that the species would be unusual in summer. | Not Accepted | ||||
