| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Robert I. Cecil is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I must admit that a few hours after the sighting and identification, I [sic] few doubts arose that maybe I had misidentified an Indigo Bunting. Upon reflection, I recalled that It had never occured [sic] to me that this might have been an Indigo Bunting as I was watching it, and I had seen several that morning. In addition to this bird's much larger size, it clearly lacked the brilliant blue of a June Indigo Bunting. | The original documentation form event lasted from approximately 07:00:00/07:00:005. |
