On this subject again. I live in the middle of about a thousand acres of very sparsely populated woods. Many birds pass through in the course of the year. I am always excited to see the Cedar Waxwings.I can expect them at any time but usually in groups between Oct. and April. The usual resident bird species become quieter and I become aware of the presence of the Waxings before I see or consciously hear them. I look up and there will be a dozen or so feeding in the tops of my Hackberry or Maple trees. By the way, there have been three or more Rose Breasted Grosbeaks at the feeder this past week. They are another species that quietly comes and goes with only the occasional "tink".
