Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Maridel Jackson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Barb Bettis. | Elimination of similar species: [...] It too landed in the shallow water and muddy shore area and as I scoped it dettermined it had to be a whimbrel. I have seen them only in Texas, but this bird could not have been anything else. It was slightly larger than the willet or the greater yellow legs and it had a obvious white eyestripe and dark legs. It's bill was not nearly as long a long billed curlew, but was obviously very decurved. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:00:00/14:30:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1995-39
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: [...] Barb was having trouble adjusting my scope so did not get good observation through it, only through her binoculars.
