| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Thomas H. Kent and Bob Myers were submitted later. Other observers include Ross Silcock, Francis Moore, Eugene Armstrong, and Eloise Armstrong. | Elimination of similar species: The smaller size and relatively small bill eliminated Killdeer and Wilson's Plover. The pale appearance, dark legs and bill, markings on the head, and lack of a dark breastband [sic] eliminates Semipalmated [sic] Plover. The dark legs and bill, brown (now white) rump, and dark ear patch eliminates Piping Plover. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:34:00/13:52:00, 14:16:00/14:35:00 and 18:15:00/18:55:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were very good with the sun behind me for all observations. Estimated viewing distance was about 50 yards at the closest, and was about 100-125 yards for most observations. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope and Nikon 8x23 binoculars. |
