| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The large size and bill shape identified the birds as godwits. The black wing linings, white wing stripe, and white rump eliminate other godwit species (Marbled, Bar-tailed, and Black-tailed). | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:20:00/16:06:00. |
