| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by John Van Dyk is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: I had seen Sharp-shinned Hawks in this area a week before, but the pointed wings made me recognize at once I was looking at a falcon. [...] no Kestrel-like head markings. | The original documentation form event lasted around twenty minutes. |
