The status of all Minnesota birds is on the MOU website at https://moumn.org/avian/gen2.php <https://moumn.org/avian/gen2.php>. There you’ll see there are only seven previous records in MN, and accordingly all sighting of this species would need to be documented to be included in the MOU database of bird records. For information on documenting unusual sightings, see https://moumn.org/cgi-bin/rqd.pl?op=new <https://moumn.org/cgi-bin/rqd.pl?op=new>.
By the way, mou-net subscribers are reminded that our guidelines ask that all postings are signed with a person’s first and last name. We would prefer to read postings from, and communicate with, a person rather than a place name or some other entity. Please see the mou-net guidelines at https://moumn.org/listservice.html <https://moumn.org/listservice.html>. Thanks!

Usually just one alone, sometimes soaring with a group of turkey vultures.

(His post to mou-net did not go through, so he asked me to repost it.) Note that the first state record in August 2001 was also spotted at Hawk Ridge as it flew north, but later that day it was seen again at the ridge after it had turned around and headed back south. So maybe this one will do the same thing?
