Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Tom Johnson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I noticed a bird the same size as a killdeer next to it but chunkier. I knew it was unusual and also knew it was a Red Knot from the breast and the bill size which I estimated as twice as long as the Killdeers bill and Dowitcher - bill was shorter than dowitcher and dark back. I tried to think of other shorebirds it could have been and the dowitcher species was what I could imagine, but its bill was too short. | The original documentation form event lasted from 19:30:00/19:35:00.
