| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Richard J. DeCoster is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Nothing else looks much like the female plumaged pine grosbreaks. Evening grosbeaks have larger beaks + shorter tails. Crossbills have crossed bills. Female purple finches lack wingband and the olive coloration. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:10:00/09:12:00 and 09:40:00/09:50:00. |
