| 30 | 75:160 | 2003-05-31 | Blue Mounds State Park | Rock | (record #2003-29, vote 7–0). The two unanimously accepted records were of easily identified and well-documented adult males. The other record, also of an adult male, was documented only by a single photograph without written details, and those dissenting felt the photo was not clear enough to confirm an identification. | Accepted | |||
| 31 | 76:39 | 2003-10-26 | near Grand Marais | Cook | (record #2003-79, vote 7–0). This female-plumaged bird was only present for a few minutes, but it was observed by several observers, and the documentation includes photographs. | Accepted | |||
| 32 | 77:9 | 2004-05-27 | Moulton Township | Murray | (record #2004-043, vote 5–2). This adult male in alternate plumage was observed at close range. Members not accepting the record were concerned that the written description did not fully address the possibility of hybridization with Indigo Bunting. Indices for evaluating hybrid characteristics were presented in Auk 76:443–463, 92:66–80, and Wilson Bulletin 87:145–179. The following records were voted on August – December 2004 and were Not Accepted. (Please note that a record which is Not Accepted only means that the documentation was not complete or convincing enough to include the sighting in The Loon, the journal of the MOU, or in the MOU's archives of confirmed bird records. Such a vote does not necessarily mean the observer misidentified the bird or did not see it. Summaries of the reasons why a record was Not Accepted are included here. These are in no way intended to be critical of the observer. The only purpose is to highlight the difficulties an observer may encounter while identifying or documenting these and similar species.) | Accepted | |||
| 33 | 77:169 | 2005-05-13 | Owatonna | Steele | (record #2005-021, vote 6–1). This adult male was documented only by two photographs, which appeared to show some pale blue on the bird's belly. A written description might have addressed one member's concern that this suggested possible hybridization with Indigo Bunting (P. cyanea). | Accepted | |||
| 34 | 78:40 | 2005-05-18 | Greenleaf Township | Meeker | (record #2005-039, vote 5–2). This adult male was briefly described. | Accepted | |||
