1675:1602003-06-07Moulton TownshipPipestone(record #2003-32, vote 6–1). This rare-Regular species was seen only in flight in quite an atypical part of the state, but it was carefully observed and documented by an experienced observer. Accepted
1776:1522004-04-29Lebanon Hills Regional ParkDakota(recirculated record #2004-040, first vote 4–3, second vote 6–1). This small loon was seen only in flight for a relatively brief period of time by an experienced observer, who noted the bird's tendency to repeatedly move its head up and down, and back and forth. There were lingering concerns that a pale-looking, basic-plumaged Common Loon could not be ruled out under these circumstances. Accepted

First winter record for state 2/20 Isanti (north of St. Francis). Injured bird found in driveway, brought to Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Roseville; photographed. Successfully rehabilitated and released the following month in the Atlantic near other wintering Red-throated Loons (fide AXH). This remarkable occurrence may have been a consequence of near-record ice cover on the Great Lakes in late winter. A number of loons and diving ducks were also reported stranded inland in late winter in Wisconsin and Michigan.
