| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Michael C. Newlon is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Carol S. Newlon. | Elimination of similar species: unbanded tail & large size eliminate Merlin, heavy contrast between under & upper parts, 'moustache', lack of dark axillaries eliminate Prairie Falcon. (Size & build definitely rule out other types of hawks.) | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:15:00/12:20:00. |
