The documentation form by Beth Proescholdt is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Jim Sinclair, Mark Proescholdt, and Rick Trieff. | Elimination of similar species: When we saw a barred tail at first we thought 'Red-shouldered', but realized it was a Broadwing tail, with the wider, darker subterminal hand of an adult - distinctly different from the Red-shouldered's even-width dark bands + more narrow white bands. | The original documentation form event lasted for four and a half hours.
