Yesterday evening, walking in through the experimental gardens and fields off the base of Freese Road there were a least 50 Cedar Waxwings swirling over the fields in true swallow style, grabbing insects on the wing. Aren't birds amazing?! Waxwings scarf down berries, flycatch over Fall Creek and soar and pivot in chase of winged insects.
Also, just need to make a point here. I have been told by the front desk at the Lab of Ornithology that some people have called in to ask why the bird club is not posting more sightings? I want to make it clear to all that the listserve and the bird club are two separate entities that of course have a good deal of overlap but still are mutually exclusive. Plus, it's summer. Moving in to Fall migration. So stay tuned!!
