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 Pam Allen, Jim Dinsmore (2x), Mark Proescholdt, Beth Proescholdt, and Tim Schantz were submitted later. Other observers include Jim Fuller, Ann Johnson, Reid Allen, and unidentified other observers. | Elimination of similar species: The fairly large size and gray and white plumage eliminates all shorebirds except Sanderling and winter-plumaged Dunlin. Sanderling is eliminated by smaller size and different bill shape. Winter-plumaged Dunlin is eliminated by different bill shape, slightly smaller size, and different tail pattern. | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:20:00/18:48:00.
