| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Jim Fuller is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The only bird that this bird should be confused with would be ruddy duck, and they were in close proximity so that good comparisons could be made. The white area on ruddy duck's head does not extend onto the neck, they are smaller in size, have a relatively larger bill, and a stiff raised tail, all features which differ from this bird. | The original documentation form event lasted from 06:35:00/06:50:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Upon arrival, the sun was hidden behind clouds, so the fact that it was early morning and I was looking northeast didn't seem to matter much. Optical equipment used was a KOWA TSN4 (20-60 X) zoom lens. The distance was approximately 150-200 yards. |
