| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Robert K. Myers is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] They were slightly smaller - at least thinner than house sparrows. [...] They were too thin for female purple finches and lacked any trace of a white eyeline. They were too streaked to be indigo buntings (wrong color as well). I thought of possible pine siskins but there was no yellow visible on wings on tail (wingbars of any color were not noted), the bill was short and stout-not as thin as siskin, and the tail did not show deep notch in terminal end - had fairly shallow "V" notch. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:05:00/09:10:00. |
