Records Committee review for rare bird sighting of Lesser Black-backed Gull near Jester Park at Saylorville Reservoir, 1988	Administrative records Field notes	Bird watching Ornithology Ornithology--Societies, etc	1988-11-15	1993-08-04	Rare birds documentation form	Records Committee review for a Lesser Black-backed Gull near Jester Park at Saylorville Reservoir in Polk County, IA on November 15, 1988. Includes a record review document with votes and a documentation form submitted to the committee.	Dinsmore, Stephen J.	Lesser Black-backed Gull	Jester Park	Saylorville Reservoir, Polk Co.-near Jester Park	resting on mud bar with thousands of other gulls	The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bery Engebretsen. \| Elimination of similar species: The size (larger than Ring-billed Gull, smaller than Herring Gull) eliminates all Gulls except Herring, California, and Lesser Black-backed gulls. The mantle was much too dark for a Herring Gull. Separation from California Gull is much more difficult. Obviously, the mantle color of this bird was much too dark for a California Gull, and the legs were more yellow than the legs of a California Gull. \| The original documentation form event lasted from 15:44:00/16:38:00.

Records Committee review for rare bird sighting of Red-throated Loon at Saylorville Reservoir, 1988	Administrative records Field notes	Bird watching Ornithology Ornithology--Societies, etc	1988-11-16	1993-08-04	Rare birds documentation form	Records Committee review for a Red-throated Loon at Saylorville Reservoir in Polk County, IA on November 16, 1988. Includes a record review document and three documentation forms submitted to the committee.	Dinsmore, Stephen J.	Red-throated Loon	Jester Park	Jester Park area of Saylorville Reservoir, Polk Co.	swimming and diving on large reservoir	The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Eugene Armstrong, Eloise Armstrong, and Mark Proescholdt were submitted later. \| Elimination of similar species: The body shape, posture, and black-and-white coloration identified the bird as loon. Although some Common Loons may be quite small. I think this bird was too small for even a very small Common Loon. Otherwise, the slender, upturned bill, the head posture, the contrast between the back and the neck, and the gray neck and white throat eliminated Pacific and Common Loons. \| The original documentation form event lasted from 13:46:00/15:43:00.

Includes a record review document with votes and a documentation letter submitted to the committee.	Fix, Andrew S.	Jaegers	Saylorville Lake	Saylorville Lake		The documentation form by Andrew S. Fix is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. \| Elimination of similar species: [...] I ruled out other gulls, especially A [sic] young Herring Gull (1st yr) because of the location of the white (belly & wings) as well as the deep rowing flight. In addition, I had the opportunity to observe the Pomarine Jaegers earlier this fall at the same location and the markings were similar, except this bird was darker with a white belly. \| The original documentation form event lasted from 14:40:00/14:40:25.

Another observer was Francis Moore. \| Elimination of similar species: About two hours later we found a Tundra Swan at Union Slough at closer range. The neck was straight at the base and the black did not come as sharply to the edge. It was seen head on and the black came across the forehead without a pronounced V and the upper mandible was not straight. \| The original documentation form event lasted from 14:30:00/15:00:00.
