| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Ann Johnson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The larger size and lack of facial pattern and tail pattern in flight eliminated the Baird's Sandpiper. A juvenile Reeve would have been nearer the size of the nearby Killdeer; a Ruff even larger. Both would have a thicker bill than this bird. Upland Sandpiper would have been larger and not had the buffy color. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:35:00/16:45:00. |
