| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Another documentation form by Jim Fuller was submitted later. Other observers include Jim Scheib and Dick Tetrault. | Elimination of similar species: The chunky body, relatively short legs, feeding pattern, and lack of white rump led me away from Stilt Sandpiper. The bill was much too short for dowitcher. The bill was not curved enough for Curlew Sandpiper. These birds appeared to be partially molted into alternate plumage. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:35:00/08:45:00 and 10:30:00. |
