[WILLIAM STEPHENSON <billyash@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I saw my first winter "bunch" of cedar waxwings quite by accident as we drove 
the backroads into Kingston yesterday. I'm sorry I can't say exactly where, as 
it was "on the fly." BUT, coincidentally, I was at Food City on the Turnpike in 
east Oak Ridge a little later at noon yesterday and there were at least 60 
(guess) cedar waxwings in the top of the holly at the edge of their parking lot 
on the Turnpike. They were flying in a great follow-the-leader loop from the 
holly to the bare tree next to it and back again. I watched as they repeated 
this maneuver over and over again for maybe 5 minutes, during which time they 
were joined by more and more fellow birds. I carry on only because they have 
always been one of my favorites and I found it great coincidence that I saw 2 
flocks on the same day. Johelen Stephenson
