Common Snipe: An individual was seen near Bronaugh in southwest Missouri in breeding habitat on May 27, 1992 in Vernon County. Other non-Atlas records suggest this species may have attempted to nest in Missouri, but no confirmation exists to date.

Franklin's Gull: An individual was seen near College Mound on June 19, 1988 in Macon County, but not in breeding habitat.

Olive-sided Flycatcher: This species was reported in seven blocks. (1) A bird was seen on May 27, 1986, but not in breeding habitat, in southwest Missouri near Sparta in Christian County. (2) A bird was seen, but not in breeding habitat, on July 9, 1987 in a valley where a small stream flows into Lake Pomme de Terre in Hickory County. (3) A bird was seen on July 11, 1987, but not in breeding habitat, along Crane Creek in Hickory County about 5.5 miles from where this species was seen near Lake Pomme de Terre. (4) A bird was seen holding territory for a month around June 22, 1989 southeast of Higginsville in Lafayette County.
