The documentation form by Ann Johnson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Loons were eliminated on the basis of thin neck and posture. Cormorants were eliminated because of straight posture, lack of throat patch, and basic plumage configurations. The bird was obviously larger than a Pied-billed Grebe which would, in addition to the yellow bill, eliminate all but Western Grebe. Western Grebe would have looked much larger than the various waterfowl nearby and would not have shown any rust color on the neck. | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:45:00/13:05:00.

Seeing white on the tail I thought 'Rough-leg'. But this bird had absolutely flat wings as it approached head-on, not with the Rough-legs' 'up-and-out' wing pattern. Three spots of white on an otherwise dark bird - no splotchiness as on a Bald Eagle, no dihedral as in a Turkey Vulture and I knew I was seeing an immature Golden Eagle. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:10:00/14:12:00.

Upland Sandpiper would have been larger and not had the buffy color. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:35:00/16:45:00.
