Already present were Steve Sanford, Rob Hilton, and Matt Hafner. Several other birders also stopped by later in the afternoon. I was in the area until dusk but did not see the bird. I also drove the adjoining public roads looking/listening for robin/waxwing flocks. The best location for birds seemed to be on the farm on the other side of the road from the community center (northeast of Chandlee Road). Lots of Bluebirds over there, too. There is a subdivision off of Brooke Road that give you a good view of the farm and there is also a gully with lots of second growth. Around 4pm. a waxwing flock flew over the Community Center and headed toward the farm, but I couldn't relocate them. Good luck.
