| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Jim Dinsmore, Thomas H. Kent, Ann Johnson, Jim Fuller, Mark Proescholdt, Beth Proescholdt, Ray Cummins, and Chris Edwards were submitted later. Other observers include Bob Myers, Chris Caster, Carol Thompson, Jim Sandrock, Tim Schantz, Pam Allen, Reid Allen, Fred Brink, Phil Walsh, Dick Tetrault, Hank Zaletel, Dennis Thompson, Eugene Armstrong, Eloise Armstrong, Jane Clark, and many unidentified other observers. | Elimination of similar species: gulls. The black underwings eliminated all other gulls except Ross', which has a smaller bill and an obvious wedge-shaped tail. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:52:00/13:08:00 and 16:20:00/16:44:00 on November 14, 1994. |
