Other observers include Liessa Thomas and Marlene Ehresman. | Elimination of similar species: Was too large for sharp shinned hawk, did not have white rump patch of harrier. Too large to be Merlin and wing shape + flight pattern different than Merlin (this bird had rounded wings and flew in flap-flap glide pattern as it left the area). | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/09:32:00.
