| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Francis L. Moore forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Robert K. Myers and Thomas H. Kent were submitted. Another observer was Russell Hays. | Elimination of similar species: Bonaparte's does not have a dark stripe across the nape, its tail is not forked and it has a black trailing edge to the wing, not white as as this bird did. Bonaparte's would have shown more white in the primaries also. Coloration was not the same as a Red-legged Kittiwake or Sabine's Gull. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:05:00/13:15:00. |
