The large Hexagenia mayflies have been hatching and the waxwings are tuned-in to this annual treat. I suspect that's what they were after. The same can be seen up here around shorelines of lakes and along trout streams.

They have been around since spring migration. Although mulberries are ripe locally, I witnessed half dozen circling and hovering, swallow-like, over Lake Hiawatha's exit into Minnehaha Creek last evening. I noted that they were snatching insects on the wing. Bob Bergad _______________________________________________ mou-net mailing list [email protected] http://cbs.umn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mou-net
