The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record.

Male Ruddy Ducks in the area had white face patches, but the patches were more horizontal, bill were sloped, necks shorter, tails cocked, and much smaller in flight. Female Ruddys had a much grayer face patch and gray on the sides. | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:30:00/18:00:00. |
