Having to travel to South America, it would seem that semipalmateds would pass through Iowa earlier, but pectorals go just as far south and some are late migrants. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:00:00/14:20:00.

In flight, the bird had long slender wings with completely dark primaries; no white dividing the tips of the outer primaries from the rest of wing, and no white tips to outer primaries. Underside of primaries as described above. 4.

The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Dick Tetrault. | Elimination of similar species: We were looking for a Swallow-tailed Kite reported the day before, but this bird did not have the forked tail and contrasting black and white of that species. The underparts and tail were not white as would be expected for Black-shouldered Kite. I did note any contrast in the upper wing (white posterior edge of inner wing) -- I may not have seen this or this could of been a first-year bird that lacks this mark. The failure to flap wings and overall gray color is inconsistent with any falcon. I saw a Swainson's Hawk earlier in the morning and its contrasting underwing was very different than this bird. A Red-tailed Hawk was also seen earlier and had an obvious buteo shape. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:27:00/10:29:00.

The documentation form by Jim Fuller is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Thomas H. Kent were submitted later. Other observers include Pam Allen and Reid Allen. | Elimination of similar species: Comparisons of all three loons have been made in the description. Smaller than Common Loon, had demarcation between the white of the foreneck and the dark of the hindneck. It had a smaller bill than common, but it was straight, compared to the Red-throated. No chin strap could be seen at the distance I observed the Pacific Loon. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:15:00/08:45:00.
