Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The extremely small size easily identified the bird as a small sandpiper (peep sp.). The short, needle-like bill, dull, yellow-green legs, and very small size eliminates other peeps. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:05:00/09:20:00.

Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were excellent with overcast skies. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope.
