|
Gravel road surrounded with open areas spotted with brush and small trees.

The documentation form by Robert I. Cecil is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I must admit that a few hours after the sighting and identification, I [sic] few doubts arose that maybe I had misidentified an Indigo Bunting. Upon reflection, I recalled that It had never occured [sic] to me that this might have been an Indigo Bunting as I was watching it, and I had seen several that morning. In addition to this bird's much larger size, it clearly lacked the brilliant blue of a June Indigo Bunting. | The original documentation form event lasted from approximately 07:00:00/07:00:005.
