Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Black legs exclude least. Uniformity of coloration, dark hood, and small bill exclude western. The lack of contrast between mantle and upper scapulars with the wing favors Semipalmated over Rufous-necked Stint. The contrasting facial pattern also favors Semipalmated. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:24:00/15:00:00.

Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Overcast. About 30 feet with Penstar telescope. Bird filled 1/3 of scope field.
