| 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 bird was darker than a Kestrel with no rust or blue on upper surfaces, darker below. It didn't bounce, flutter, or glide (or wander) as a Kestrel does, especially in a light breeze. The dark back half of the tail was different than the Kestrel's light one, and it was thicker + shorter. Kestrels always remind me of a Killdeer, this bird didn't remotely bring one to mind. | The original documentation form event occurred around 19:15:00 |
