| avian information | 2006-09-12 | Morrison | 9/12 Morrison (second county record) Two birds known to have wandered from the experimental flock at Necedah N.W.R., Wisconsin, were tracked by satellite to Minnesota 9/12–13 Benton/Morrison RPU fide RPR. Three more were tracked by satellite to Winnebago County, Iowa and then were visually confirmed at Reno Bottoms 9/13 Houston fide RPR. Also see undocumented reports. | ||||||
| 6 | 79:123 | 2007-04-09 | Pembina Trail Preserve | Polk | (record #2007-014, vote 7–0 for one adult, vote 6–1 for four more; total of five adults Accepted; documentation for two juveniles will be recirculated). | Accepted | |||
| 7 | 80:5 | 2007-05-06 | Ironton | Crow Wing | (recirculated record #2007-027, identification Accepted 6–1, origin Accepted 7–3). All ten members discuss and vote on questions of origin. The location and date of this sighting were atypical for this species, which can only be reasonably expected in western Minnesota; although no transmitters or bands were visible as this bird flew overhead, and satellite tracking data supplied by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service showed no captive-bred cranes in this area, transmitters occasionally malfunction or are lost. Therefore, this may have been a bird wandering from the experimental flock at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin. In this case, the majority voted to accept the record as Ao, i.e., the chances of natural origin and captive origin were considered to be about the same. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2008-03-14 | Houston | 3/14 Houston (first county record) Two banded birds seen 3/14 Houston (Houston Twp.) †KAK. | ||||||

| avian information | 2008-08-05 | Jackson | 8/5 Jackson Five reports, all of captive birds from the Wisconsin flock: 8/5 Jackson (4, east of Bergen, present since 8/1) RPR, 8/11 Pope (4, near Lake Emily) RPR, 9/2 Isanti (3) CAM, 10/5 and 10/7 Lincoln (4, Limestone Twp.) RJS, BJU. | ||||||

| avian information | 2009-11-13 | Steele | 11/13 Steele (first county record) Two banded birds from the Wisconsin flock observed 11/10–13 Steele m.ob. | ||||||
| 8 | 83:3 | 2010-05-21 | 2010-05-23 | Agassiz NWR, Agassiz Pool | Marshall | (record #2010-015, vote 7–0). Photographed. Its origin was unanimously accepted as wild (origin vote 10–0). The lack of observable bands was cited as the reason for accepting the bird as wild. A Whooping Crane biologist, after seeing the bird on an aerial survey and also from the ground, noted the absence of bands. Bob Russell, in attendance at the 5 December meeting, commented that all Wisconsin (eastern flock) birds are banded with conspicuous leg bands, but virtually no Aransas/Wood Buffalo birds are anymore, except for a handful for a radio telemetry project. This is only the third accepted record since the formation of MOURC in 1974. | Accepted | ||
| avian information | 2010-05-23 | Marshall | 5/23 Marshall (second county record) One unbanded bird, presumably of the wild Wood Buffalo N.P./Aransas N.W.R. population, seen 5/21–23 Marshall (Agassiz N.W.R.) †GAK, ph. †PHS, †JMJ, SAS. Possibly the same individual was photographed twenty miles away near Newfolden 5/30 ph. JaK. | ||||||
| 9 | 83:3 | 2010-05-30 | about five miles west of Newfolden | Marshall | (record #2010-021A, vote 7–0). The identification of the sighting (photographed) was unanimously accepted (second round vote 7–0), but see Not Accepted records. The question of origin will be voted after discussion at the next regular MOURC meeting. | Accepted | |||
| avian information | 2010-09-13 | Goodhue | 9/13 Goodhue (first county record) One in Goodhue on 9/13 NBr, presumably from the Necedah N.W.R. flock. | ||||||

| avian information | 2011-09-09 | 2011-09-12 | Rice | 9/9-12 Rice (second county record) Two banded birds from the experimental Wisconsin flock observed 9/9–12 Rice (west of Northfield) m.ob. | |||||
