| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Robert K. Myers is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Betsy Myers. | Elimination of similar species: not an American Bittern as had no black whisker mark on cheek and bill was too short & wide- imm. black-crown night herons are close but this bird was too long legged & necked and just didn't get right. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:05:00/11:20:00. |
