Dinsmore. | Elimination of similar species: The large size and slightly upturned, bicolored bill identified the bird as a godwit. In flight, the combination of a white rump and black wing linings ruled out other godwit species (Marbled, Black-tailed, and Bar-tailed). | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:52:00/18:20:00.
