| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Jim Dinsmore, Thomas H. Kent, Jim Fuller, Reid Allen, Ann Johnson, Mark Proescholdt, Chris Edwards, Peter C. Petersen, Ray Cummins, Robert Cecil, and Diane Porter were submitted later. | Elimination of similar species: See above discussion (Description). Steller's Eider eliminated by size. Female and immature King Eider eliminated by pattern of barring on flanks, size of bill, position of eye, faint white supercilium, and pattern of feathering on bill. Spectacled Eider eliminated by facial pattern and bill shape. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:45:00/15:05:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing conditions were very good with overcast skies and intermittent light drizzle. Estimated viewing distance was about 40 meters when we arrived, but the bird moved downstream offering views from 75-100 meters. I used 10x42 binoculars and a 20-60x spotting scope. |
