Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Tanya Bray. | Elimination of similar species: The body shape, bahavior, [sic] and plumage identify the bird as a phalarope. Bill shape eliminates other phalaropes, which would be even more unlikely on this date. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/10:45:00.

Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were good with the sun behind us on a partly cloudy day. Estimated viewing distance was 150 yards. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope.
