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: The overall color made me think of Least Sandpiper first, but the legs were definitely black and the bill was more decurved than any Least Sandpiper I have seen. I have seen rather rufous appearing Semipalmated Sandpipers, but they looked much more uniform on the upper parts than this bird did. Also the bill was too curved for a semi. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/09:35:00.
