| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by James Van Dyk is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The small size, upturned bill, slender build, and white-spotted back distinguished this bird from the other Loons. The grayish bill and loon profile eliminated any possible confusion with a Grebe (e.g., Western or Clark's Grebe). | The original documentation form event did not list a time other than in the afternoon for about 35 minutes. |

| Event Remarks |
The sky was overcast, and the water calm. The light was excellent. The Loon was at times would emerge only 30 yards from my car, allowing me an excellent view. I jotted down notes as I observed the bird for about 40 minutes. |
