Had over 200 waxwings Sunday - mostly bohemian with a few cedars in the mix. Today there were over 50 eating away at the ornamental apple tree or twilling in the locust tree - again just a few cedars. The common grackle which has been around for 2 weeks, still shows up and finally joined by 2 red-wings. Very fun to watch the male red bellied woodpecker. On Friday he and a starling were fighting over the suet and today he was chasing the hairy woodpecker up the maple tree. Jean
