| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bart Ballard. | Elimination of similar species: The long tail and pointed wings make the bird a falcon of some sort. The size eliminates Merlin and Am. Kestrel. The black axillaries eliminate Peregrine Falcon and Gyrfalcon. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:07:00/11:13:00 on December 16 and 08:10:00/08:23:00 on December 17. |
