| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Jeffrey R. Livingston is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Joe Breshears. | Elimination of similar species: Upon first seeing the bird and noticing the bill, I thought of an Evening Grossbeak, [sic] but this bird had a dark bill not a yellow-green one. The body was definitely gray not yellowish. When I saw it closer and in better light, I noticed the rust on the head and rump. This eliminated the Evening Grossbeak. [sic] The bird had no crest or prominent eye markings as do the Waxwings. The under tail coverts were gray. The waxwings are rusty. The White-winged Crossbill is lots smaller and has red on the breast and throat. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:50:00/10:05:00. |
