Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Will Fields is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include unidentified members of Iowa State University Fisheries and Wildlife Biology Club. | Elimination of similar species: The American crow and the common raven lack do not have such a long tail and they usually do not have white in their plumage. I had seen American crows flying around the preserve earlier that morning. This bird definitely had a longer tail than the American crows. Ring-necked pheasants also have a long tail, but they do not normally have a black and white plumage. | The original documentation form event occurred around 09:45:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1999-28
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: I was about 80 to 100 meters from the tree where the bird was perched and I saw it with my own eyes. I did not have a pair of binoculars with me at the time.
