| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Will Fields is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include unidentified members of the Iowa State University Fisheries and Wildlife Biology Club. | Elimination of similar species: The American Crow and the Common Raven lack do not have [sic] such a long tail and they usually do not have white in their plumage. I had seen American Crows flying around the preserve earlier that morning. This bird definitely had a longer tail than the American Crows. Ring-necked Pheasants also have a long tail, but they do not normally have a [sic] black and white plumage. | The original documentation form event occurred around 09:45:00. |
