| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Jean B. Braley and Marie Tiemann is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The birds were smaller than long-billed curlews and the curved bills shorter. The striped heads further eliminated Long-billed Curlew. The decurved bills served to distinguish Whimbrels from other shorebirds of size: i.e. Godwits, possibly Willets, Greater Yellowlegs. Also coloring and action. There were Yellowlegs feeding the area and a lot of smaller sandpipers. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:00:00/09:20:00 |
