| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Peter C. Petersen forms the basis of this record. Another documentation form by Brian Blevins was submitted later. | Elimination of similar species: Pectoral Sandpipers, available side-by-side, were slightly larger, legs & bill a bit longer than Sharp-tailed. White eyebrow on Pectorals did not broaden behind eye cap not as richly colored in Pectorals. Pectorals had streaking across buff breast wash uniformly to lower edge of buff. Back of Sharp-tailed seemed more uniformly rich brown than those of the Pectorals. Birds all departed downstream on Miss. before photos could be attempted. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:50:00/15:55:00. |
