| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: This smaller loon was dark gray across the back and wings, slightly darker than the Common Loon with it. [...] The whole neck pattern was much different and cleaner looking than the Common Loon. The bill was dark, short, and straight. It was about 1/3 shorter than the bill of the Common Loon and had a stockier appearance. [...] Common Loon eliminated above. Red-throated Loon eliminated by the dark back, neck pattern, and bill size and shape. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:06:00/11:45:00. |
