The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: I judged birds to be small peeps. Too small and gray to be Pectorals. Dunlin would be more likely, but bills not long enough or droopy + body too small. Did not have brown color on bill to suggest Least. Date would be second latest for Iowa. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:50:00/11:45:00.

The documentation form by Thomas H. Kent is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Black legs exclude least. Uniformity of coloration, dark hood, and small bill exclude western. The lack of contrast between mantle and upper scapulars with the wing favors Semipalmated over Rufous-necked Stint. The contrasting facial pattern also favors Semipalmated. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:24:00/15:00:00.
