| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Jim Fuller is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Cal and Bernie Knight. | Elimination of similar species: Eastern screech owl is grey or red streaked, not brown, and has ear tufts. It is not a long legged owl either. Boreal owl is not known in Iowa, does not have long legs, has a much greyer face and relatively larger head. Northern saw whet owl does not have long legs, has vertical breast streaking, and a relatively larger head. Any of these other owls would be very much out of habitat at the location of the sighting in daylight. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:00:00/08:02:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Distance: [...] about 20 feet away. Optical equipment: I used Swift Audubon binoculars 8.5X44, but could see the bird quite well without optics. Light: It was early morning, and I was looking east on a clear day. I do not remember the sun being a problem, however. |
