| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by W. Ross Silcock is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The only similarly - appearing species remotely possible here would be the Mottled Duck, which I have seen in Louisiana. The Mottled Duck has a much cleaner) cut appearance than the Black Duck and if at all to be expected, would be more likely in the spring. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:15:00/10:45:00. |
