A LIST OF BIRDS THAT ARE RARE OR ACCI- 

 DENTAL IN MINNESOTA 



The species included in this list are wanderers far from their 

 normal habitats and so do not belong properly to Minnesota's bird 

 population. Such birds are probably for the most part lost, storm- 

 driven, or adventuresome individuals, and their occurrence within 

 our territory is purely a fortuitous or casual matter. 



As this list contains exceptional records, the scientific names 

 and exact data are given in accordance with the usual practice 

 under such circumstances. 



Ancient Murrelet {Synthliboramphus anfiquus). One specimen Sur. 

 Coll.: Lake Hook, McLeod Co., Nov. 5, 1905.

 worthy (H. J. Jaeger of Owatonna).

 Sur. Coll., one taken in McLeod Co. and one in Otter Tail Co., 

 stragglers from the west.
