| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Dennis Thompson forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Francis L. Moore, Beth Proescholdt, and Mark Proescholdt were submitted. Other observers include Eugene Armstrong, Eloise Armstrong, Margaret Brooke, Pauline Mooney, and Richard Mooney. | Elimination of similar species: Similar in shape + actions to Bonaparte's. No direct comparison was available, but seemed larger, I'd say half-way in size between Bonaparte's + Ring-billed. Black legs, black half-collar, and lack of carpal bar helped eliminate Bonapartes. Gray back took care of Sabine's, white head, Franklin's. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:00:00/10:30:00. |
