| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Rita Goranson, Al Goranson, Jim Fuller, and John Rutenbeck. | Elimination of similar species: At first I thought the bird was a Wilson's, but the date seemed odd. However, the size, lack of back streaks, lack of dark auricular patch, and long thin bill eliminate Red-necked and Red phalaropes, both of which would be more likely at this date. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:30:00/15:45:00. |
