Yesterday evening was too a bit too hazy for an eye-catching Tribute in Lights in Lower Manhattan as part of the Sept. 11 commemoration, but you could see the twin beams from Lower Manhattan, just south of the new One World Trade Center.

The memorial wreath stood vigil at DeKorte Park’s World Trade Center Memorial Cove.

Roughly 18 folks came to see the lights from DeKorte Park — a few of us were lucky to also see a Black Skimmer working the Shorebird Pool after dark, and three raccoons crossing the shallows to one of the islands.

We could not confirm whether the phalarope was here to see the lights, but it was still here this morning.
