While at Burger King in W. Lebanon we watched a N. Mockingbird feeding in the grass and garden area between the drive up side and the fence.  It acted much like a Robin as it hunted for food.  It would fly and perch on the fence then fly back down to the ground a recheck the area.  We must have watched for a good 5 min.
     This even. I went outside to listen for Woodcock.  Heard Robins squabbling then noted a small football like bird fly N over my yard and beyond the neighbors house.  I'm sure it was a woodcock.
    Last week I noted several Cedar Waxwings in my apple tree.  At least 8 flew off but not far. I watched several perch in the tops of tall maples along the woods.  They would fly from their perch as if they were catching bugs and return to their perch.  I watched them for 5- 10 min.
