The documentation form by Mark Proescholdt is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] The most identifying mark was its face pattern around its eye. It had a 'blank look' around its eye. [...] This is definitely different from a Phil. Vireo with dark line through its eye and the Philadelphia's 'dark loral spot'. I've seen many Warbling Vireos (and have heard more) and I'm sure that it was a Warbling Vireo that I saw. | The original documentation form event lasted for 15 to 30 seconds.

It was feeding near the shoreline in dead weeds, mostly on foot, but occasionally in deeper water.
|
The documentation form by Ross Silcock is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bob Myers and Francis Moore. | Elimination of similar species: Other species we considered (albeit briefly) were: Ruff: eliminated by bill size and shape (thin and straight, rather than fairly heavy and thick-based with a slight droop); also eliminated by phalarope feeding actions. Some far out of range Tringa (eg Wood Sandpiper or juv Redshank): legs relatively short; also phalarope feeding actions.
