| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bart Ballard. | Elimination of similar species: The size, yellowish legs, and well defined 'necklace' eliminates all other shorebirds except Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. The fact the the [sic] eyeline did not broaden behind the eye and the streaked rather than buffy breast eliminates Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:35:00/16:45:00. |

Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions varied from day to day, but were generally very good. Estimated viewing distance was as close as 40-50 feet on several occasions. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope and Nikon 8x23 binoculars. |
