Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The combination of size, bill shape, and wing and tail patterns eliminates all other shorebirds. The most similar species would probably be Sanderling and Dunlin, both of which would be much smaller than this bird. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:55:00/09:10:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1995-41
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were fair except for the great distance. Estimated viewing distance was 300-400m. I used a 20-60x spotting scope.
