| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Randall Pinkston is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Initially spotted by it's large size, dwarfing nearby Black-bellied Plovers. Heavy-bodied and long-billed, at first I thought it might be a Willet except, even at great distance, the bill appeared gently upcurved. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:00:00/14:45:00. |

Viewing Conditions: Single bird observed across the width of the lake, perhaps 300 yards(?), with 10-30x zoom binoculars under mostly cloudy skies. I used 30x magnification for most of the observation. |
