					| Occurrence Remarks | 
					The documentation form by Robert Cecil is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: See above. [...] I observed a conspicuous superciliary strip but otherwise, the bird did not look right for a Carolina. The body appeared slimmer than a Carolina, and the tail was longer. [...] I heard the song a couple of times, but will not try to describe it except that it was clearly not the song of a Carolina or a House Wren. | The original documentation form event occurred from 07:30:00/07:31:00. |
