The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The underwing markings and apparent light coloration argue against Peregrine Falcon. The date and location are appropriate for Prairie Falcon in Iowa. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:50:00/17:00:00.
