See attached sheet [...] The first sighting birds flew west across the corn field - see map - [...]

The documentation form by Peter Ernzen forms the basis of this record. Another documentation form by Don Poggensee was submitted. | Elimination of similar species: Savannah Sparrow, Henslow's Sparrow, Le Contes Sparrow Savannah Sparrow - Dirty yellow down top of crown Henslows wrong color, Le Contes dirty yellow initially thought this Sparrow (Yellow was first thing noticed) eliminated after further study for more detail on all see attached sheets. [...] Baird's Sparrow was the last of the sparrows in my decision making. I arrived at this conclusion primarily because of the head color/down the middle of the crown. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:00:00/16:03:00.
