Other documentation forms by Bob Myers, Ann Johnson, and Ray Cummins were submitted later. Other observers include Becky Myers, Pam Allen, Reed Allen, Eugene Armstrong, and Eloise Armstrong. | Elimination of similar species: The combination of smaller size, short, straight bill, neck pattern, and contrast between the head and rest of the upperparts eliminates other loons. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:46:00/11:56:00.
