The documentation form by Robert K. Myers is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Kestrel would show rusty color on back, wings and tail. Kestrel would have darker more prominent facial markings. The overall color of a kestrel would not be as dark as this bird was. A sharp-shinned hawk would have shorter more rounded wings and a much longer tail than this bird had. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:35:00/08:38:00. |
