Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The size, elongated profile, and lack of sharp belly band but [sic] this bird in the category of Baird's or White-rumped Sandpiper. I have seen a number of Baird's at this location in the last few weeks. They were browner above and had a buffy breast. The streaks on the sides also suggested White-rumped. Having seen the white rump on two consecutive days convinced me of my first fall White-rumped Sandpiper for Iowa. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/10:00:00 approximately.
