| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Paul Martsching is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Sandpiper article in American Birds shows both Semipalm and Western with spooned bills and partial webbing between toes, but Semipalms bill is shorter and doesn't droop at end (except in extreme cases with same Semipalm females) and in any case doesn't have the orangish feathers. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:10:00/14:30:00. |
