Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Charlotte Scott is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Dick Scott. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I ruled out Empidonax flycatchers immediately because of his lack of an eyering and what I considered--smaller size. I ruled out Eastern Phoebe because of the distinct wing bars, the yellow lower mandible and the fact that he did not flick his tail. Also I considered this to be better habitat for a Pewee. 90% of the Phoebes I see are near a bridge and stream or deserted buildings. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/09:33:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1983-25
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: I was able to observe this bird indefinitely as he flew from and returned to very nearly the same branch the entire time we watched him.
