| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Brian Blevins is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Corey Blevins. | Elimination of similar species: About the only thing that is close is the Bufflehead and they were feeding with this bird, thus contrasting them was easy. The head difference was unmistakable with the buffs having an all dark head with a white spot, where as the smew had a white head with a black patch. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:13:00/15:36:00. |
