Today for my first time ever, I saw a flock of easily 200 Cedar Waxwings all clustering in the evergreens in front of the Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church in Collegedale. It may be related to the small park close by that permits water birds in migration to stop in for short stay overs. Many people go and feed the ducks that stay year round, but wild ones come in occasionally for the safety and feed. But this is the first time I've seen a cedar waxwing in Tennessee, much less such a large flock.
