The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Thomas H. Kent and Bob Myers were submitted later. Other observers include Ross Silcock, Francis Moore, Eugene Armstrong, and Eloise Armstrong. | Elimination of similar species: The smaller size and relatively small bill eliminated Killdeer and Wilson's Plover. The pale appearance, dark legs and bill, markings on the head, and lack of a dark breastband [sic] eliminates Semipalmated [sic] Plover. The dark legs and bill, brown (now white) rump, and dark ear patch eliminates Piping Plover. | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:34:00/13:52:00, 14:16:00/14:35:00 and 18:15:00/18:55:00.

White, Gerald
|
Townsend's Warbler
|
Wildcat Den State Park
|
[...] At Wild Cat Den State Park in a small area of bottom land of deciduous woods on May 12, 1988 at 7:20 AM, for aproximatly [sic] 45 seconds.
|
|
The documentation form by Gerald White is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] When the first look at the head I thought of a possible Blackburnian but when I saw the neck I knew I had a new bird for myself. The most striking features being the head and throat markings. [...] I then checked the rest of the birds listed and made the summation that I had seen the Townsend's. That evening when I returned from work I checked my Golden, Peterson, N.G.S. and Audubon Master Guide for their accounts of the Townsend's and similar species. I eliminated the following; Hermit Warbler - no cheek patch: Blackburnian - dosn't [sic] have a black throat: Black-throated Green - has solid back color and cheek patch not as bold, no black cap. Of the references mentioned, the N.G.S. has the most accurate illustration of the birds head but I can't verify that the bird I saw did or didn't have yellow under the eye. | The original documentation form event lasted from approximately 07:20:00/07:20:45.
