| Ross's Gull(Rhodostethia rosea) | ||||
| Year | Season | N | S | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1984 | Spring | First state record, 4/4 to 4/14 Agassiz N.W.R., Marshall Co. James P. Mattsson, M.ob. (The Loon 56:128) | ||
| 1992 | Spring | Second Minnesota record; 4/16 Goose Lake, Pennington County SSt (The Loon 64:156–158). | ||
| 2007 | Winter | 3 | Certainly the highlight of the season was this third state record basic adult photographed near Grand and Hardman Avenues on the Mississippi River on 12/15 in South St. Paul ph. †BAF, ph. †DAC, ph. †AXH, †JPM, ph. †PHS (The Loon 80:174). Seen by a relatively small number of birders, the gull unfortunately departed the area at nightfall and could not be relocated the following day despite intensive searching. During its brief visit, the diminutive arctic gull obligingly added three new county records — Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington (The Loon 80:108–110). | |
| Three records: 2 spring and 1 winter. Recorded in one (2007) of the last 10 years. | ||||
