| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Gerald W. Toll is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: It was smaller than a mallard and between the sizes of male and female common goldeneye present on the pond. The lack of a white speculum present when it should have been observable, and the shape of the forespot indicated it was an adult female surf scoter. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:00:00/15:15:00. |
