| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Randy Walton is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Sandy Walton. | Elimination of similar species: Shape and size of bird was similar to prairie and peregrine falcons. The lack of any facial markings, the grayish coloration and presence of the black dorsal wing tips eliminate the falcons. | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:15:00/17:20:00. |
