| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Andrew S. Fix is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Craig Harms. | Elimination of similar species: Only species for possible confusion is Common Goldeneye, which was readily separable by the lack of dark lateral breast band in Common Goldeneye. Lack of dark back with linear row of white spots parallel to midline in Common Goldeneye and the overall whiter appearance of the Common Goldeneye. The final spot of the Barrow's is supposedly a cresent [sic] however this was not clearly evident in this bird, as the spot it had was suggestive of a cresent [sic] when compared to the nearby Common Goldeneye. Voice and behavior were not helpful in separation in this case. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:30:00/12:00:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Light: Since it was about noon on a clear, sunny day, the light on this bid was ideal. Good pattern detail was evident and no glare compromised the view as the sun was virtually ideal. We were observing the bird with the sun coming in from the right but it was fairly high in the sky. Distance: ~200 ft - compared to height of nearby trees Optical equipment: 20x Bushnell scope on tripod |
