Folks,
This morning at 9 am I went on a walk with a friend in Durham. We found
around 70-80 Cedar Waxwings in 2 flocks all in Bradford Pear trees. We
noticed that the waxwings, robins and starlings were eating the pears. I
had thought these trees to be totally useless for birds until now. We also
saw both kinglets including a very yellow-headed golden-crown. Also we
added Ring-billed Gull to my friends yard list as we saw about 15 fly by.
Still no snow, but it is very cold out there with the windchill.
