The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Susan Barrell Grove, Peter C. Petersen, Mark Proescholdt, Beth Proescholdt, Jim Fuller, Thomas H. Kent, Pam Allen and Reid Allen, Jeff Dankert, and Ann Johnson were submitted later. Other observers include Russ Widner, Kelly McKay, Tim Schantz, Gerald White, Eloise Armstrong, Eugene Armstrong, and Fred Lesher. | Elimination of similar species: The long legs, upright posture, and long neck were clearly features of a whistling-duck. The extensive rufous color on the belly, dark back edged with tawny, lack of any white on the upperwing, and dark bill and legs eliminate Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:30:00/14:10:00.

The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Mark Proescholdt, James Dinsmore, Thomas Kent, and Beth Proescholdt were submitted later. Other observers include Hank Zaletel. | Elimination of similar species: The size and shape of the bird were those of a loon. The lack of a dark auricular patch, contrasting neck pattern, dark back and upperwings, and dark bill color all ruled out Yellow-billed Loon. Red-throated Loon was eliminated by bill shape, neck pattern, the dark back and upperwings, and dark area around the eye. Common Loon was eliminated by the dark back and upperwings, shorter, thicker bill, dark area around the eye, evidence of a chinstrap, neck pattern, and contrast between the pale nape and dark back. The bird was clearly a Pacific or Arctic Loon, but which one? Unfortunately, exact identification was not possible, though it was likely a Pacific Loon. | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:25:00/20:15:00.
