With an eye on some rare or later than usual species in Prospect lately, I delved into the records for some of these species.
Solitary Sandpiper on Sunday was the second latest. The latest is a 12/24/2005 sighting observed by Alex Wilson. 10/17/2004 was the previous second late date.
With the rare sparrows of 10/24, here's the low down :
