- Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33931053
- Comments: "*Brooklyn all time high count. Could have been as few as 9 (which would also be the high count). Five seen ~11:15 AM, then drifted off to the S/SE. An hour later, 9 approached the center of the cemetery from the SE, and then hung around the northern and western part of the cemetery for at least 20 minutes, flying quite low. Further efforts by others around 1 PM failed to reveal them."
