The breast on the bird observed was not as spotted or steaked [sic] as shown on the female rose breasted grosbeak. | The original documentation form event occurred around 18:00:00 on May 21 and 07:00:00 on May 22.

|

|
Coralville Reservoir, Babcock Access, Johnson Co., IA

wide part of reservoir with open mud flats
|
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The pointed wings indicate a kite or falcon. The gliding flight was that of a kite not a falcon. The white body and head also eliminates all falcons. The lack of white rump as well as the flight pattern eliminate Northern Harrier. Swallow-tailed Kite would have a forked tail and different flight pattern. Black-shouldered Kite has a white tail and black shoulder. The lack of white patches in the secondaries and brownish tail indicate a subadult (first year bird). I looked for bands in the tail but could not appreciate them. Failure to see bands could be due to the lighting and distance or, as noted by Clark and Wheeler, to the fact that "A few immatures have solid, unbanded dark brown tails." The prominent light and dark underwing puzzled me, but Dunne says "Immature has body and underwing coverts buffy, with dark streaking and spotting of variable density; may be lighter or darker than illustrated." The underwing coverts and body appeared about the same shade to me. The lighting and distance may have precluded my appreciating any streaking. This bird appeared lighter than the bird I saw at Dudgeon Lake last year, especially the underwing coverts. The profile and flight characteristics allowed me to immediately recognize the bird as a Mississippi Kite. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:35:00/13:36:00.

The documentation form by Peter C. Petersen is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Carl J. Bendorf and Jim Fuller were submitted later. Other observers include Ken Lowder, Ann Barker, John Daniels, Jim Sieh, Cal Knight, Bernie Knight, Brian Blevins, and Rick Hollis. | Elimination of similar species: White-faced Ibis, which was present for direct comparison, had a wide white facial border around a reddish-brown facial patch, eye seemed red but distance was a bit far to be positive, legs were uniformly reddish brown, bill darker and more reddish & bird seemed a bit smaller. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:30:00/09:40:00.
