19 | 92:92 | 1990-05-04 | Grass Lake, Shoreview | Ramsey | (record #1990-001, vote 7–0). Adult. White-eyed Vireo has always been somewhat of an enigma in the state, its status vacillating between Casual and Regular since the 1980s. This record fills in a gap in the species' historic presence in Minnesota. This bird was observed at Grass Lake in Ramsey County in 1990, but the documentation was not seen by this Committee until 2019. However, written details were sufficient for the Committee to unanimously accept the 30-year-old report. At the time of the observation, the Minnesota Checklist included White-eyed Vireo as a Casual species with records in seven years of the ten year period (1989 to 1998) but not for 1990. Even with this addition, the species' status would not have been affected for the time period in which it was seen. | Accepted | |||
