| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Jim Fuller is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Pete Wickham, John Daniel, Tom Kent, and Randy Pinkston. | Elimination of similar species: The only other waterfowl with a white pattern on the side of face and neck is a Ruddy Duck, and a male of that species was always within a few feet during the observation. Differences between the two were general size, relative bill size, tail in the air, white pattern that didn't extend nearly as far down the neck, and generally lighter coloration of the ruddy. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:29:00/10:43:00. |
