The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Ann Johnson and Jim Fuller were submitted later. Other observers include Dick Tetrault, Chuck Fuller, and Tim Schantz. | Elimination of similar species: The Records Committee has not accepted two previous records of Fish Crow along the Mississippi River in Louisa County because of the difficulty in substantiating the identification. I was well aware of this, and like other committee members, I believed that they were likely present in this area. I can only say that I was watching the birds when I heard them, which eliminates the possibility that they were young American Crows. I would not want to rely on the morphologic features. I was impressed that this group stayed together in the flooded woods, which was unlike the behavior of the American Crows. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:40:00/09:30:00 and 10:25:00/10:35:00.

The documentation form by James P. Mattsson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Michael Bornstein. | Elimination of similar species: [...] The bird was most similar to the dark phase rough-legged hawk (Bureo lagopus) in size and general shape, but the latter species lacks the deep rust coloration on the upper wing coverts, scapulars, and upper back, and also has some dark banding on the outer one-half of the tail. Although by no means a conclusive characteristic, the subject bird did not hover during the period we observed it, a characteristic typical of hunting Rough-legged hawks. Dark phase Swainson's hawk have much darker, barred flight feathers and tail when viewed from below than that of the subject bird. | The original documentation form event lasted from 12:30:00/12:45:00.

The documentation form by Francis L. Moore forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Robert K. Myers and Thomas H. Kent were submitted. Another observer was Russell Hays. | Elimination of similar species: Bonaparte's does not have a dark stripe across the nape, its tail is not forked and it has a black trailing edge to the wing, not white as as this bird did. Bonaparte's would have shown more white in the primaries also. Coloration was not the same as a Red-legged Kittiwake or Sabine's Gull. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:05:00/13:15:00.
