| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Common Loon eliminated by the more rounded forehead, the smaller, darker bill, the paler nape and crown, the gray necklace on the throat, and by the overall smaller size(a small Common Loon should still show the features of a normal Common Loon). Red-throated Loon was separated by the straight (not upturned) bill, the dark, unspeckled [sic] back, and the gray necklace. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:00:00/15:20:00. |
