| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bery Engebretsen. | Elimination of similar species: The size and shape eliminates loons and all other grebes except Western Grebe. The bill shape, light mark on the cheek, and the position of the wing patch eliminates Western Grebe. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/09:40:00. |
