It was another day with lots of robins (12,365) aloft - the peak count so far this fall. Cedar Waxwings (489) staged another good flight, adding to their record total. However, today's highlights were birds that flew singly: a late Black-and-white Warbler (the last one seen 10/17), the first Vesper Sparrow of the year here, and a Dickcissel (only the third this month).
