The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Common Loon eliminated by the more rounded forehead, the smaller, darker bill, the paler nape and crown, the gray necklace on the throat, and by the overall smaller size(a small Common Loon should still show the features of a normal Common Loon). Red-throated Loon was separated by the straight (not upturned) bill, the dark, unspeckled [sic] back, and the gray necklace. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:00:00/15:20:00.

Red-throated Loon eliminated by thicker, straighter bill, dark back, chin strap, and 3-toned neck pattern. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:15:00 - 11:30:00 and 11:45:00.- 12:30:00 on November 22 and 08:00:00/08:35:00 on November 23.

Myers, Robert K.
|
Parasitic Jaeger
|
Saylorville Lake
|
Saylorville Reservoir, Polk Co., Iowa
|
General: Saylorville Reservoir- large impoundment on DesMoines [sic] River. Specific: Always out in main deeper part of lake.
|
The documentation form by Robert K. Myers is the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Stephen Dinsmore, Francis L. Moore, Carl J. Bendorf, Thomas H. Kent, and Bery Engebretsen were submitted. Other observers include Dennis Thompson, Eloise Armstrong, Eugene Armstrong, Tom Staudt, and many unidentified observers. | Elimination of similar species: Pomarine Jaeger and Long-tailed Jaeger are possible. See explanation on back as to why I believe this was Parasitic Jaeger. [...] A juvenile dark phase Pomarine would also show much white in the base of primaries (top and bottom) and the tail wouldn't have any long streamers. The Pomarine should however be a larger bird (Herring Gull size). The Pomarine's flight should be slower and more labored than this bird was. A juvenile dark phase Long-tailed Jaeger would not show as much white on dorsal side of primaries as this bird did and the flight pattern should be almost tern-like which it was not. Long-tailed Jaegers should also appear to be more grayish than the bird in question- even in dark phase. Further note on size-- As the jaeger rested on the water, double-crested cormorants would sometimes swim into the field of view and they appeared to be at least one-third larger than the jaeger. A pied-billed grebe also swam near once and the jaeger was probably 1/4 again longer than the grebe. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:15:00/09:40:00 and seen several times after that for a total of sixty minutes.

Also too yellow for the much less likely Bay-breasted or Blackpoll Warblers. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:30:00Z/08:33:00Z.
