| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Bery Engebretsen, Mark Proescholdt, Beth Proescholdt, Andrew S. Fix, Jim Sinclair, James Dinsmore, Thomas H. Kent, Ann Johnson, and Mike Thomas were submitted. Other observers includes David Youngblut and Larry Morris. | Elimination of similar species: The posture, behavior, and black and white color pattern rule out all shorebirds except phalaropes. The size, "hunchbacked" appearance, bill shape, head pattern, and unstreaked, gray upperparts eliminates Red-necked and Wilson's phalaropes. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:46:00/17:05:00 on September 30, 1988 and 14:12:00/16:05:00 on October 1, 1988. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were very good. The sky was overcast, but the air was very clear and there were no heat shimmers. Estimated viewing distance was 400-500 yards at the closest on 30 Sep, but was less than 30 feet on later dates. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope. |
