Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Matthew Kenne is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The lack of facial pattern and white throat and chest rule out peregrine, as the bird was flying almost directly into the sun (perpendicular to me). It wasn't as pale or brown as a prairie, and with shadow and distance there wasn't any dark/light pattern to the underwing. It wasn't black as a crow + the shape was wrong. Eagles were patterned and obviously larger. | The original documentation form event occurred around 13:10:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1995-02
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: full sun through 35x spotting scope 1/2 mile +- (long distance) estimated from map, these reservoir views confuse me!
