| 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 Robert K. Myers and Jim Fuller were submitted later. Other observers include Eugene Armstrong, Cal Knight, and Jane Fuller. | Elimination of similar species: Fall Dowitchers have longer bills and legs, a darker tail, longer neck, darker back, and darker underparts. Sanderling is smaller, much whiter, has bolder wing stripe and lacks a white eye stripe. (I saw several later in the day.) | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:00:00/18:30:00. |
