| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Robert K. Myers is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Francis Moore. | Elimination of similar species: Bird was too big for Merlin and too dark above for Prairie Falcon and basic shape, color and head pattern eliminates other possible hawks. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:30:00/11:31:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Distance: Very hard for me to say. Possibly 75 to 100 yards by total guess. Optical equipment: 10X40 Binocs. Light: Overcast day - not the best lighting but at least light was even. |
