| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Loren Padelford, Babs Padelford, and Bob Myers were submitted later. Other observers include Bob Myers, B.J. Rose, Jim Dinsmore, Gene Armstrong, and Eloise Armstrong. | Elimination of similar species: Common Loon eliminated by the small bill, rounded forehead, clear separation between the throat and back of neck, smaller size, chin strap, and dark, mostly unmarked back. Red-throated Loon eliminated by thicker, straighter bill, dark back, chin strap, and 3-toned neck pattern. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:15:00 - 11:30:00 and 11:45:00.- 12:30:00 on November 22 and 08:00:00/08:35:00 on November 23. |
