UNSETTLED SPECIES 



The usually assigned range of the following birds includes 

 Minnesota and there are one or more state records for each, but 

 thus far the testimony is not conclusive. 



Red-throated Loon. No Minnesota specimen Sur. Coll. and none 

 known elsewhere. Records chiefly from Lake Superior in 

 winter and unsupported by conclusive evidence. 



Barrows's Golden-eye Duck. No specimens thus far to support 

 the various Minnesota records. To be looked for as a winter 

 visitant. 



Hudsonian Curlew. Dr. Hatch barely mentions this maritime spe- 

 cies in his list of 1880 but, on second thought, accords it 

 more extended notice in his "Notes" of 1892; and Cantwell 

 includes it second-hand in his list of 1890. W. W. Cooke in 

 Bird Migration Mississippi Valley, 1884-5 gives a record from 

 Heron Lake by Thomas Miller, "May 1, 1884." As there 

 are no Minnesota specimens known, and as there is reason- 

 able doubt as to the reliability of these records, further in- 

 formation in regard to its occurrence is needed. 



Red-shouldered Hawk. No Minnesota specimen seen. A southern 

 species which has several times been credited to the state, but 

 the evidence is still incomplete.
