Had a cool experience on the leg of the Ontario Pathways/Rt. 96 today near Phelps; NY. I was standing on the second bridge from the road and encountered a very big hatch of tiny insects over the stream. A number of waxwings were perched in a tree over the stream and would fly into the insect swarm, snapping their bill's as they did so, and consume the insects. They would then return to their perch for a bit of a rest and then proceed to go hawking again. They were acting like they've found the Motherload! I've never seen anything quite like it like it! It was very cool. The things we see when we're out there observing! Pete Sar
