Agreed! We are wildly amateur birders but so appreciate all of the knowledge
and joyful birding reports from this group!
We are out in the woods in Goshen in Oldham County and get an incredibly
diverse bird crowd at our feeders.
I would love to see a Cedar Waxwing. In what sorts of settings can they
typically be found?
Thanks to all!
