| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bob Myers, Eugene Armstrong, Eloise Armstrong, and Jim Dinsmore. | Elimination of similar species: Snow Goose eliminated by the size, bill shape and size, and by the lack of a "grin" patch. | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:50:00/18:30:00. |
