| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Jim Fuller. | Elimination of similar species: It would be hard to exclude Clark's Grebe. I don't know whether the previous observers saw it closer. The bill color and probability are the basis for calling it a Western. | The original documentation form event lasted fro 09:15:00/09:45:00. |
