| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Rich Shmid is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Loren & Babs Padelford, Thomas H. Kent, Jim Fuller, Michael D. Overton, and Chris Edwards were submitted later. Other observers include Mary Edwards, Pam Allen, Reid Allen, Dennis Henrickson, Clem Claphake, Jim Kovanda, and Sandy Kovanda. | Elimination of similar species:From first glance, the Garganey was conspicuously different from other nearby ducks on the lake. It was swimming with a pair of Blue-Winged Teal and appeared about the same size as the teal, but its body was much lighter overall, with contrasting dark head and breast. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:15:00/15:35:00. |

| Event Remarks |
It was cloudy, but it was mid-afternoon, so the light was very good, and there was no sun glare. The bird was very near the shore closest to the road. Total distance between observer and bird ranged from approximately 75 to 250 feet during the observation period, which lasted approximately 20 minutes. Pentax binoculars 16 x 50. |
