| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Dick Bierman is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include three unidentified individuals. | Elimination of similar species: Subject was too brown and chunky for a mockingbird. I've seen many mockingbirds in Arizona. I've excluded the Loggerheaded Shrike because of the physical description above, and I have also seen many Loggerheaded Shrikes. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:30:00/14:35:00. |
