| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Ann Johnson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The pointed wings and powerful, direct flight identified the bird as a falcon. Size eliminated all but the more likely Peregrine. The pale color and narrow facial markings with light supercilliary all but eliminated the Peregrine. The brief look at the black on the underwing confirmed this. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:50:00/15:51:00. |
