Peter,

Hope you are having a good shore bird trip. Didn't see many birders in pk so I thought I'd send you our list from today. A nice early fall species list just covering lull water and ravine in a surprisingly empty prospect park. Ok, back to packing now we move on Thursday. 

Dennis And Kristin

We watched bird for a good length of time from all angles to make sure color was not a trick of light. A near by trails flycatcher a little lower down looked muck whiter on breast and throat In same lighting conditions. The comparison to trails empid also emphasized the smaller more compact build of bird.
