Occurrence Notes
The study area of Ducey 1989 includes more area than the park itself and one cannot be sure that birds observed were done so within park boundaries. The location recorded for this species in Brogie and Mossman 1983 is inconclusive in respect to the park boundaries.; Data Source: Steinauer and Scudder 1989, Mollhoff 2001
