[...] Also conspicuous was the black patch which was located just at the top of the 'shoulder' where the wing joined the body and extending a little ways toward the mid-breast area (but nowhere extending as far as the complete or semi-complete breastband common on the Piping Plover). The legs and feet were a dull dark slate grey (with no hint of the orange/pink coloration indicative of a Piping Plover). | The original documentation form event lasted from 13:10:00/13:20:00 and 14:00:00/14:15:00.

The documentation form by Jim Sinclair is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: What an interesting question. If the bird had not been singing I suppose one could have shrugged it off as an atypical Yellow-throated Warbler. However the song in combination with the olive back patch definitely indicated N. Parula heritage some where down the line. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:30:00/07:35:00.
