A large number of species were seen thanks to the persistence of the leaders and to the overlap of the fall and winter migrants. Fewer warblers were around but there were increasing numbers of sparrows. The unquestioned star was the Grasshopper Sparrow, which has been seen near the King Jagiello monument for five days; it was foraging determinedly, oblivious to the pedestrians only a foot or so away.
