| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Scott Gritters is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Kevin Timmer. | Elimination of similar species: Upon sighting of the bird in the tree we eliminated hawks by large size and black over whole body. At first his head appeared to be black headed - so I thought it was an immature bald eagle. This also cleared it from being a Turkey Vulture. Finally the bird turned its head toward us as it was getting 'nervous' - this revealed a golden crown. | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:00:00/12:05:00 approximately. |
