| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bert Engebretsen. | Elimination of similar species: The dark eye and lack of any rust color eliminates Rusty Blackbird, which is similar in size and shape to this bird. Common Grackle has a longer tail, females show lots of brown color, and the call note is different. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:54:00/16:05:00. |

Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were superb-sun behind us, good light on bird, and seen at close range. Estimated viewing distance was 15m. I used 10x42 binoculars and a 20-60x spotting scope. |
