"Dark-legged Peep Sp: Unprecedented for the date was a Western/Semipalmated 
Sandpiper discovered on the beach at Maumee Bay SP 5 Dec (Chuck Anderson, Matt 
Kemp). Chuck provided a video with an image still of the bird on Rarebird.org. 
The following day, Dale ? relocated the bird in the same spot, and too 
photographed it, his photo also posted on Rarebird. "

Rare certainly but unprecedented? Consider the last paragraph of this note from Dec 1998.
