| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Joe Schaufenbuel is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The only bird that this duck reminded me of was a Ruddy Duck female, but this bird was definitely not this species, and is mentioned because of vague plumage characteristic similarities. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:20:00/14:45:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Distance: When first seen and identified the bird was at most 1600 feet away, my subsequent movement brought me within 200 feet of the bird. Light: Excellent light conditions were in existence during the time of observation. The sky was clear, little or no wind, with the sun in the southern sky, behind me, while the Black Scoter was viewed to the northwest. I observed the bird with a Bushnell Space Master Zoom 20X to 45X and through Bushnell 7X35 binoculars. |
