| 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 dark legs and smaller size eliminates Pectoral Sandpiper. Dark legs also eliminates Least Sandpiper. Other peeps were eliminated by the combination of bill shape, long, slender body shape, scaly upperparts, and call note. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:15:00/09:10:00. |
