Observation details

At least two. Alison and I heard one call; I looked for 20 minutes to try and find it at that spot, finally went around to the path in the trees beside the dog park leading to the washrooms (so between the dog park and the houses). First I saw one perched on a branch with bold black spots and very rufous tail; it was flushed by a walker before I could photograph it. Then about 60-70 meters closer to the washrooms/parking lot, I saw another one along the thin-wired fence separating the path from the dog off-leash area. Then I saw the ones I photographed without being able to see their breast markings, but both had rufous tails. They came from the direction of the houses, not the shrubs I had just seen the two others, but cannot rule out they flew around.
