| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Jim Sinclair were submitted later. | Elimination of similar species: The large size and bill shape eliminates all shorebirds except Long-billed Curlew. This species was eliminated by the head pattern and shorter bill. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:30:00/08:35:00. |
