| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include several at an earlier date. | Elimination of similar species: see above. [...] I then assumed this was probably the Lesser Yellowlegs that was at this same location on 19 Nov. A few minutes later, a Northern Harrier flew by and flushed the shore birds. The yellow legs took flight and, instead of the soft 'tu-tu-tu' of a Lesser Yellowlegs, I heard the louder, harsher call of a Greater Yellowlegs, which the bird gave in a series of 5-6 notes. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:08:00/07:22:00. |
